Two men behind a controversial newspaper banned by Canada Post are now facing criminal charges for words the editor-in-chief wrote about political strategists Warren and Lisa Kinsella. An Ontario Justice of the Peace has charged Your Ward News editor James Sears and owner Leroy St.Germaine with uttering threats. The Kinsellas have long fought the newspaper they call a "hate-rag" and this is the first criminal charge they've had stick. Lisa Kinsella says although the paper is no longer being distributed by Canada Post, it's still published online and worries their readership is growing. Sears and his co-accused and owner of the newspaper, Leroy St.Gemaine, will be summoned to court at a later date to respond to the charge of uttering threats.
