NDP Charlie Angus speaks during a news conference, Tuesday, October 17, 2023 in Ottawa.

MP Charlie Angus 'astounded' charges against man accused of harassing him were stayed due to lost evidence | CBC News LoadedCharlie Angus, MP for Timmins-James Bay in northern Ontario, says he wants police to take complaints of harassment and threatening behaviour seriously after charges against a man accused of uttering death threats against him and his staff were tossed. CBC obtained a court recording in which the Crown told the judge that the evidence had gone missing.

"There's a statement missing, there's some voicemail messages that are the subject of the indictments, and I think there's some police notes that are also missing," the prosecutor says. "Ordinarily, as I mentioned, I would ask for an adjournment, but in this case, I don't think some of the evidence is going to be found, so it's not going to solve the problem.

Simpson also said he's not in a position to comment on specific details and the OPP is reviewing the circumstances leading to the staying of the charges.I implore the police to take these issues seriously and identify that this is not just a threat to an individual, this is a threat to our democratic system of government"So when I'm told that the case is being thrown out because the evidence was lost, I was absolutely astounded," he said to CBC this week.
