In Ontario, and every province and territory in Canada, making threats against another could result in being charged with the criminal offence, uttering a threat. This type of criminal offence is classified in the Criminal Code as an assault-type offence.
To be charged with uttering a threat, you must knowingly utter, convey or cause any person to receive a threat. In addition, if you threaten to destroy, burn, or damage their property, or threaten their pet, you could be charged with this criminal offence.
Whether or not a threat was made is viewed objectively, and depends on whether a reasonable person would consider the words uttered as being threatening.
