Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the federal government is looking at its options when it comes to increasing security for politicians, adding the harassment many face represents a threat to democracy. He says that as the security situation becomes “more and more complex,” there’s a need to “bring the temperature down.”
This comes following a video posted online this weekend of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland being harassed in Alberta. The video shows a man yelling profanities at the minister in the lobby of Grande Prairie, Alta.’s city hall, before she and her staff enter the elevator.“We are seeing more incidents, particularly involving women, involving racialized Canadians, and involving Indigenous peoples,” he said.
“This is real,” Ien said. “This is real. What happened to the deputy prime minister was reprehensible but not surprising.” “We've been very lucky in Canada, and I think we've prided ourselves for many years on the fact that our politicians are generally very accessible,” Gould said. “That’s something that I think we want to maintain.
