Charge of inciting hatred dropped against political candidate

A Sudbury fringe candidate who is no stranger to controversy during election campaigns is off the hook.  The Crown has withdrawn charges of inciting hatred and advocating genocide against David Popsecu.  The 68-year-old was charged during February’s provincial by-election in Sudbury for distributing campaign material police allege promoted hatred and genocide toward a specific group.
