Calgary Skyview Liberal Member of Parliament George Chahal is giving the public a glimpse of the vitriol his staff members have to deal with at his constituency office.
The report says the phone calls were received in March.
“This is the worst I've seen over the last few years, and the level of hatred and discrimination towards elected officials,” said Chahal.“Hey, George. Just a reminder you’re a ugly trash n***** fa**** traitor and I hope your entire family receives what’s getting to them with corporal punishment one day,” the caller says.One political scientist at Mount Royal University says the attacks against politicians are not new, but the ability to record and share them is.
“Maybe 25 per cent of the population has this visceral disdain for the Liberal Party, but the rest of the population just doesn't care,” he said. Canadian Member of Parliament George Chahal speaks to CTV News Calgary on May 13, 2023, about hateful and violent voicemails that were left at his office.
