(Canada) Harrassment of Members Of Parliament up 800%

in the last few years. In particularly female politicians. Thanks to the anti-democratic forces in this country. There are lots of people every day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa just waiting to yell at politicians. It reaches the threshold of awful but lawful. It makes politicians afraid of interacting with their constituents when at home. They don't know what to expect. Police are escalating there investigation threats and developing new units to handle the aggression. Authorities blame lack of trust in government, populist rhetoric and vaccine mistrust.

Applegrove: In other words Putin who has elevated these fears online.

See those pickups on the road with your maple leaf flag on the behind. There’s your sign! It really stinks that you are going to deal with this.

I’ve been trying to tell my Canadian friends to wake up but they have assured me it is all on stupid Americans. But here we are. I don’t wish ill on you believe me….I simply say wake the heck up. Don’t really know about Musk. I’m way too far gone to get into the minutiae. People are paid to take care of this and it is time that they do it!
