What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Griplas has previously run for Ottawa city council in 2018 for Ward 1, which covers part of the eastern community of Orléans.
While the name posted on the public list of candidates is Geoff Nicholas, the candidate provided a full name including Griplas elsewhere on his nomination documents, which also include an address matching that on the charge sheet.
The Kingston Police say they were made aware of “concerning behavior and comments” made on Sept. 13.
The accused has been returned to custody in Kingston, Ont., after a bail hearing and is due back in court on Sept. 21.
