Quebec man arrested for antisemitic social media posts

A Quebec man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly posting hundreds of messages against Jews and "sexual minorities," according to the Quebec Royal Mounted Canadian Police.

The Rivière-du-Loup man is facing charges of "willful promotion of hatred" and "willful promotion of antisemitism," and some of the alleged offenses were committed when he was a minor.

The suspect had been arrested last February for similar offenses and released on conditions, but continued with the online activities.
