Andrew Marshall, 61, is now facing two counts of uttering threats.

He was charged by the RCMP last Wednesday and was released on bail Friday. None of the allegations have been tested in court.

“Like all Canadians, Mr. Marshall has rights and freedoms. He has the right to freedom of speech, the right to reasonable bail, and the right to a fair trial,” his lawyers said in a statement.

“Having secured his release from custody, we will continue to defend Mr. Marshall’s Charter rights as his case proceeds.”

According to cops, Marshall’s legal woes are tied to a TikTok video published last Monday.

In the video, Marshall unloads on what he perceives as his free speech being curtailed.

He said in the most recent video: “I make videos — or all my comments, that are just simple comments — but I get them taken down all the time. It’s just getting ridiculous.”

And, he allegedly said “if it was up to him,” he would kill Trudeau and Freeland. He also allegedly targets the media, immigrants, Muslims, cops and the LGBTQ community with his wrath.

Among Marshall’s bail conditions are that he’s to have no contact with Trudeau and Freeland, cannot use the internet to post his missives or comment on social media, and he’s prohibited from possessing weapons and must refrain from applying for a firearm licence.
