Majority
The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by
Dickson C.J.
1. The Chief Justice‑‑It will not be necessary to call upon you Mr. Watt. We see no reason to depart from the conclusion of the Court of Appeal for Ontario. A message to a police station to convey a threat to a police officer cannot reasonably be looked upon as a private communication. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitors for the appellant: Birenbaum, Koffman, Steinberg, Toronto.
Solicitor for the respondent: The Ministry of the Attorney General for Ontario, Toronto.
