Twitter restricted Bernier's account for 12 hours after he urged followers to 'play dirty' with journalists
Twitter restricted People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier's account, preventing him from posting any new messages for 12 hours after he used the platform to encourage his supporters to "play dirty" with journalists covering his campaign.
The offending tweets singled out three reporters, calling them "idiots" and describing their efforts to question him as "disgusting smear jobs." Bernier tweeted out their email addresses and encouraged his followers to "play dirty."
CTV journalist Christy Somos responded to the attacks online. In a tweet describing "what your inbox looks like after Bernier tweets about you," Somos posted a screenshot of a threatening email she was sent.

Somos tweeted out a link to story she wrote for CTV that shed some light on the matter. The story quotes a number of experts drawing links between the PPC and extremist and racist views and was posted immediately after her tweet containing the threatening email.

He's really working to become Canada's trump and gather up all the racists, extremists, white supremacists under his 'new' party.
