On Tuesday morning, inside Calgary city hall, more than 20 security guards, peace officers and police – including members of the mountain bike team – filled the lobby in a show of force while, outside on the street, a handful of protesters voiced their displeasure with the city’s mayor.
“Lately, we've seen a rise in protests that have turned into something unlike what we've seen in the past,” said Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. “And so our teams at the city, raised the flag that there would be a potential protest, and they took precautionary measures to make sure that the public was well protected.”
Tuesday’s protesters were supporters of Derek Reimer, who faces criminal charges of mischief and causing a disturbance. Even there, she may find protesters targeting her, after Fox News’ Tucker Carslon has latched on to the cases of Reimer and Art Pawlowski, another Calgarian charged under existing laws.
“1/4 I’ll be unpacking all the ‘reasons’ why enforcement teams & the Crown feel the street harassment bylaw & other existing bylaws/legislation are not strong enough to charge demonstrators who spread vile lies & hatred in public. And then I’ll be pushing for more. No more excuses,” she wrote. “4/4 I will be posting more on what I uncover about the weakness of our existing bylaws & legislation. I’ll let you know what we can all do to demand better. It starts with me. I hold the greatest responsibility for this city to be a place of inclusion. More to come.”
