I've seen a bit of discussion on this in the news, but nothing on here yet. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland was verbally accosted by a loudmouth idiot in Grande Prairie recently, and now the Public Safety Minister is pondering security details for ministers.
To be clear, the guy was an idiot. What he did was stupid, and wrong. More Details at link: Government exploring options to increase security for ministers after Freeland confronted in Alberta
What inspired my post is the increasingly hostile tone that politicians on all sides have been taking toward people who disagree with them. The current PM is a bit of an expert at this:
Trudeau: Canadians who protested him are 'racist,' 'misogynistic,' 'anti-vaxxer mobs'
If we Google we can all find other examples, these were just the low hanging fruit.
So with the background covered, do people think politicians will start to learn to be less divisive in Canada, or will we continue down this path of escalating rhetoric until things get truly ugly and violent?
