Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was verbally ambushed Friday on a visit to Grand Prairie.
A video, posted on TikTok and Twitter, shows a large stocky white man with a beard wearing a ripped white tank top and baggy jeans approaching the front reception desk of an office in Grande Prairie demanding to speak with Freeland.
Former Liberal environment minister Catherine McKenna replied to Raitt's tweet, saying,"I feel that exact feeling too when I watch it." Note. It’s pretty hard to intimidate a woman who defied the Russian secret police, who stood up to Putin and Trump, and who can run circles around most bullies, in high heels, no less. She greets him in an open friendly way, then strides coolly into that elevator when he goes offThe video posted by Tik Tok user, “@inchoohisdai” has now been taken down and the account has been banned by the social media platform.
“Whether it's Jason Kenney or other UCP leadership candidates talking about Trudeau deliberately destroying Alberta's oil and gas sector, you create that culture where the federal government is not seen as legitimate and you're opening the door for nut bars to go after federal politicians in the prairies," he said.
“Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed here, you know, verbal abuse of this type is going to lead to physical attacks.” If you disagree with a politician, by all means exercise your right to protest. But screaming threatening language & physical intimidation cross the line.“@cafreeland, you know that our governments have a lot of serious disagreements. But you’re always welcome to come and visit us here in the province where you grew up & your family lives! As we are all Canadians.
