Canada's security apparatus is 'exercising increased vigilance' in the wake of this weekend's deadly shooting at former U.S. president Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, the federal public safety minister said Sunday.
Republican presidential candidate former president Donald Trump is surrounded by U.S. Secret Service agents on stage at a campaign rally, Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pa. A retired RCMP officer says he doesn't expect major repercussions for Canadian politicians in the aftermath of a deadly shooting at former president Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
"The information we have to date shows no link to Canada," LeBlanc added. "However, our security agencies and law enforcement organizations stand ready to assist our U.S. counterparts in any way." "I don't think there ultimately will be any real repercussions, security is always heightened after an incident, that's just human nature," Mathers said in an interview.
"So there's not a lot to learn from this except that, you know, maybe you should make sure that people are doing their job," he said. "Violence is corrosive for democracy — and we will always stand against it. No matter our political disagreements, violence is never the answer," he wrote.Politicians in Canada haven't been immune to escalating threats in recent years, with increased security for some members of parliament, including several cabinet ministers.
RCMP commissioner Mike Duheme said in May he would like to see a new law that would make it easier for the Crown to charge people who threaten elected officials.
