Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday condemned an abusive verbal attack on his deputy prime minister and finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, which he described as an "extremely disturbing harassment" that was not an isolated incident.

In the video of the incident shared on Twitter late on Friday, Freeland was approaching the elevator of a city hall building in Grande Prairie, Alberta, when one man shouted at her.

When governments lose the respect and support of the people they are supposed to represent through their tyrannical ways, you begin to see this kind of pushback from the people.

I guess the Canadians are not used to the opposition swearing and rudely barking at them as is common in the US.
Ask someone like Sarah Palin what you have to learn to deal with. If you are any shade of conservative, the targeting and harrassment are baked in the cake.
That is not to say this Canadian woman is conservative in any way. Never heard of her.

When you are moving towards a totalitarian regime you are bound to get some push back.

But so far, the push back has been modest,

“Apparently the whole “Speaking truth to power” thing only goes one way.“

Perfect analysis .

perhaps one should not be a traitor or a “effing bitch”

i see it not as a threat, but the right of the oppressed to vocalize their disdain for rulers.

This from the person who elbowed a female NDP MP a few years ago and back in February told a female Jewish Conservative MP “Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas” when she asked him about how he handled the trucker protest in Ottawa.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Hi! What about the female member of Parliament whose family members were murdered in the Holocaust that Jussie called a Nazi sympathizer? Is that harassment?
