Current and former politicians from across the Canadian political spectrum have condemned an incident in Alberta during which a man appeared to verbally accost Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on Friday.

The man in the video looms in front of the open elevator doors and tells Freeland to get out of Alberta,while a woman tells her, “you don’t belong here.”

The first video shows the man calling Freeland by her first name and the deputy prime minister turning to face him, saying “yes,” before he begins yelling. “She hears her name turns ... because she is open to engaging with people. He becomes abusive she heads into the elevator,” Raitt wrote, adding, “physical intimidation is not a form of democratic expression.”

Cabinet ministers do not generally receive protection from the RCMP, but it can be arranged if circumstances warrant. A number of politicians and pundits took to social media after the incident in Grande Prairie to question whether additional security should become more common. Defence Minister Anita Anand, meanwhile, wrote on Twitter that she was “appalled by the threats and intimidation” directed at her cabinet colleague.

Red Star distracting from the fact the Liberals knowingly hired a racist anti-Semite to do a cross Canada speaking tour. Gaslighting by taxpayer funded gasbags CdnMediaFailed

She deserved more then what he gave her

🇨🇦🇨🇦YOU CAN ONLY BEAT AN ANIMAL FOR SO LONG BEFORE IT BITES YOU🇨🇦🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦 AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES THAT SPOKE OUT FOR THE CANADIAN PEOPLE TO END THE TYRANNY IN THIS COUNTRY, LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW FOR MS. FREELAND.. 🇨🇦OH YEAH, YOU DIDN’T🇨🇦🤔

Remember when the toronto star found obscure tweets wishing death on the unvaccinated, and printed them in BOLD on the front page?

Government is not listening - NOBODY VOTED for this agenda. We want our lives back. Time for an election 🗳 we are living in a dictatorship disguised as a democracy. Our courts are not free, or press is not free, people are not free. Government over reach has to end.

And I support what he did.

She deserved it

fake news / stage the video shows no guards around her but a few ladies on a trip .. and if she's crying over it she is not think skin enough for the job and should give up

Why is the media still talking about it? LaithMarouf

What would you fools expect would happen? - No one should have their bank account frozen, prohibiting them from buying food, medicine, necessities, and housing?

Elliot McDavid, the man who accosted Christian Freeland, is associated with Pierre Poilievre

She deserved every second of it ! I laughed at her just as she laughed at Canadians when she was freezing bank accounts . Treat others how you wanna be treated Kristia 😂😂😂

Meanwhile, the same liberal party leader:

Since the man who verbally assaulted cafreeland still has his anonymity, I’d like him identified so no people have to do business with him ever again.

Why would they be off limits? They haven’t seen anything yet!🖕💉🐑

Would like Politicians to be held accountable for their actions and maybe Canadians wouldn’t dive this low. When politicians run amok this is what we get. Reap what you sow JustinTrudeau cafreeland theJagmeetSingh liberal_party Remember this PierrePoilievre when u become PM

Toronto Star falls for Liberal_Party false flag incident to distract from hiring racist Laith_Marouf - News at 11 ..

You ran a story saying many of us should be left to die.

Only if someone ever condemned liberals for dividing this country

Moving forward, please get DPM Freeland security at all times. This is perhaps our future PM after Trudeau, so it would be vital to show her she is protected in her position. And show Canadians this as well.

So we can be called names and jobs taken. She can use a law that wasn't legal to lock bank accounts but she can't have someone voice how they feel

Oh don’t worry. She wasn’t bothered

Amazing how the Conservative politicians try to act moral by doing the bare minimum of condemning it when they egged on/feed the paranoia hate. If those Conservative politicians are truly sincere they should declare publicly that those types are no longer welcome in their party

Appeared? You Con Rage Farmer!

You mean someone spoke to her in disagreement? 🤯😱

Dear cafreeland, 7 years of dividing 🇨🇦, calling them racists, misogynists, terrorists and Nazis has consequences. You reap what you sow… cdnpoli ChrystiaFreeland

Liberals care more about Chrystia Freeland getting scolded by a man from Alberta than they care that the Liberal Government gave a half a Million Dollars of tax payers money to a Anti-Semetic Racist to lecture Canadians on 'anti-racism' This is today's Liberal supporter

The abuse prime minister Stephen Harper took from you Aholes. Tell a liberal politician how you feel and you guys cry like 5 year olds

He had every right to under our Constitution to voice his opinion.

Verbally accosted? That's a new one. Two people saw her and started a 'mini protest'. There was no physical assault. It appears she was just told she was not welcome there and to leave? People have the right to protest our elected govt employees no matter where they are found.

“Appeared to”? Like “ appears to be trying to practice journalism”?

But you were ok with JustinTrudeauNo calling unvaxxed 'Misogynists and Racists? And why do we tolerate these people' words Hitler used. Go away

How many current & former politicians have condemned that time you gave a voice to those hoping for the deaths of people on the basis of private & confidential medical choice?

Who in their right mind takes the Toronto Star seiously? Its LPC propaganda machine.

Other than Pierre Polievre. His silence was his statement.

Why is this such a big deal?! So he yelled at her. He didn't attack her physically! Trudeau comes out and says it's because she is a female in power. Absolutely nothing to do with that! Trudeau himself has had similar 'attacks'. People either love him, or hate him..is what it is

Most Canadians while not condoning it, think it’s understandable.

Lmao

coylejim20 Appeared

please news world/T.S. dont harp over and over ..Please Bee a vechilcle of successful out comes..Make example if anybody talks to any body such ways..(which we all know bullys..adult bullys)Narrastic humans..turn it aroundd get votes ..just dont make this guy a star !!!

Mirs Minister I encourage you to takethis ExAMPLE OF BULLY TACTICS..OUR CHILDREN WEAR PINK! time to use this for vechicle to example of what not to talk to folks such ways.give $ for the fleeing families who need housing.I left voltailness like that ..4 years and no housing .

well like I said to allow that form of communication is unacceptablke unless your bleeding!

She was grinning soaking it up... stop making her a victim when she's screwing over an entire country and helping screw over the world!!!!! Simple minds follow these simple stories as if they're better than everyone else. That woman is scum, he's calling it as it is

She deserves all the hate. Disgusting politician.

But it was ok to bully millions of un vaccinated Canadians

Imagine the horror of a politician getting 'verbally accosted' by a member of the public? How did she even survive such an incident? Thoughts and prayers.

Gee.. I wonder why there is so much division and ill feelings..

Oh no heavens forbid. They’re pour feelers must have been hurt 😞

Appeared? Did you not see the video?

I'll lock your bank account and you will like it.

*is this the part where you tell us we're not seeing what we see w/ our own 👀 - like R*ssia does!?! ✨👁️ Or the event was staged actors!?! 🎭 Why are YOU following a dictator's authoritarian playbook in democratic 🇨🇦- may I ask!? Women experience this vile behaviour, too often.

Politicians condemn what they caused. OK 👌 🇨🇦

Except skippy

Same cons that condone this, are the same ones that work hard for this to happen. NeverVoteConservative cndpoli

People everywhere encounter this behaviour evvvvverywhere! I was acoustic at a gas station today!! World is becoming totally uncivil!

No one should feel threatened, however our leaders should reflect on their own behaviour as they have spent the best part of a year threatening their own citizens

The one who carried a nazi banner for 4 hours during the ukraine parade in Toronto is now claimed to be a victim

Hey bitch welcome to the new Canada

Probably not the best approach but many are very angry with this lying and cheating government

Interesting choice of words, but you do you, and we will know for sure that the star is failing to 'appear' to be a trusted news source....do better ffs

The media and politicians are rather selective with their indignation over the verbal assault directed at cafreeland, but were silent last year when MaximeBernier was egged/assaulted. Welcome to Trudeau's Canada!

Hopefully that guy gets fired. Our leaders deserve respect!

Politicians condemn and the rest of Canada stands up and applauded!

Not little PP…… not most of the CONservatives fake Ministers….

Please share the statement from Pigeon Pierre

Well, he didn’t accuse her of being a racist, white supremacist, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe, or fascist which is what Trudeau and the Liberals have accused everyone who disagrees with them of, or wish death on her like the Toronto Star did to unvaxxed Canadians.

Conservatives are called fascists racist nazis every single day by liberals and no one bats an eye.

It's amazing after all the abuse, discrimination and hardship the politicians have caused that they are all shocked and 'disturbed' that one of them was yelled at. Perhaps if we weren't lead by so many weak people we would be heading in a better direction.

That’s yesterdays irrelevant news. Get up to speed !

The way it was said was wrong, but what was said was correct. She's a politician who has lips stuck to Justin Trudeau's ass, if she doesn't understand why it happened then she should probably resign. You dance with the devil be prepared to get burned

They should be condemning the entire conservative party, they are the ones who introduced Republican-style politics to Canada

Politicians have inflated opinions of themselves and as a result, Canadians suffer needlessly.

Power defends power. Meanwhile homeless people are constantly harassed by the minions of many of these politicians and the same folks are silent. Power does not defend marginalized communities in Canada.

lots of people feel the way this guy did that verbally attacked Freeland . Liberals destroyed peoples livelihoods . they caused this divisiveness . they reap what they sow ! this is the end result , so bloody well wake up

Everyone except PierrePoilievre. His failure to condemn extremists like Jeremy MacKenzie & the deeply misguided people who verbally attacked, harassed, and intimidated Deputy Prime Minister cafreeland, is a tacit endorsement of their dangerous views & reprehensible behaviour.

Whatever. Canadians are angry.

Hey! Remember when this government funded news source treated a subset of our society worse! Not one of them said anything except Roman_Baber - bunch of hypocrites. If our public officials are willing to throw punches, they need to learn how to take them too!

No, they didn't. CPC_HQ and affiliated fascists only offered milquetoast pearl-clutching after taking polls, and still failed to acknowledge that this conduct is exactly what their stochastic terrorism was designed to produce. Thanks for confirming you're not a newspaper.

What, are you suggesting the incident was possibly CGI’d or something? Lol.

But you told us to fight tyranny with direct action.

APPEARED to verbally accost? After seeing the video, you're not sure if she was verbally accosted?

Why is this a story? Because one guy in a hotel said mean words while she laughed at him?

Except for PierrePoilievre because these are his type of people and he doesn’t want to lose the support of his awful followers

Nobody cares about the politicians. Bunch of cry baby criminals.

Not PierrePoilievre. He’s revelling in it. He’s a coward.

Thank you for your donation

Setup. She walks around with no security ?

Most hated woman in Canada, Freeland needs to take a step back & ask herself why she is hated so much. The answer should come easily, perhaps review some of her media footage since January 2020! She is an arrogant piece of $h1t!

So if it was a guy, it would have been different. Why is that? Are women more 'fragile' than men? Or is it just part of a bigger story? Perhaps they know that people are angry and frustrated with libs and want to prevent any future confrontations by inflating non-story events.

You don't need to use the word appear. He did verbally accoust her.

So if it was a guy, it would have been quite different. Why is that? Are women more 'fragile' than men? Or is it just part of a bigger story? Perhaps they know that people are angry and frustrated with libs and want to prevent any future confrontations by inflating events.

Exactly!! No more harassment or derogatory speech UNLESS it's toward the UNVACCINATED.... Right

Freeland is a Criminal so any Politician that grossly exaggerates the incident into threats and intimidation is proving they’re her comrade in the WEF. Good to know all the WEF shills & stooges!

When the hatred comes from the top, don’t expect tax payers to sit back and stay quiet.She deserve every bit of it and id be the 1st one to do the same.

This is hilarious coming from the ‘deny healthcare for those people’

Harassment is never acceptable. That is why politicians have to be better role models. Bad politics, bad media and bad medicine have lead to the perfect storm.

With one glaring exception who still hasn't said a thing about one of his buddies shrieking at the Deputy PM as she walked into an elevator. Wonder why PP's been so quiet on this story when even Kenney and Moe have publicly condemned the incident.

Yes we all think its wrong. But I'm still waiting for cafreeland to apologize for laughing as she was announcing that the liberal_party would be locking bank accounts.

Virtually and Actually almost no Cons.

It's time to stop tolerating this intolerant regime

Lmao are we going to hear about this for days or what ?

She sure doesn't seem to be concerned

As U can see, no 'Current and former politicians from across the Canadian political spectrum' have bothered to ask the man why he's angry. Canadians don't get angry unless provoked & we've been provoked.

Perfect timing to distract from their latest anti-Semitism scandal. Media doing what it is paid to do.

LOL - in liberal land you can only accost people from a press conference, the House of Commons or from behind a computer screen.

The sun 'appears to' have risen this morning. The sky 'appears to' be blue. The 'appears to' be calling itself a valid newspaper.

what in the blazes do you mean by 'appeared to'... Toronto Star.... 🤨🙄👀😒 Do you need MORE evidence or something!?! 😳🧐

She is an unelected soros crony. She is reaping the rewards of treasonous acts. Soon all politicians will see this happen to them.

It was staged (aka “fake” )until liberals prove it wasn’t. They’re all actresses and actors.

'appeared to' WTAF?!?!?!

The infantalizing of Canada: From 'sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me' to 'verbally accosted'. Are there any adults involved in journalism anymore? weak

Too bad the Liberal Politicians didn’t condemn this 👇👇👇👇👇and were appalled when this happened. If they could sanction guns aimed at people in Ottawa.. this can happen anywhere in Canada by the Trudeau Govt. This IS appalling ..this was an armed weaponized THREAT…

Who wore the victim mantel the best?

Except for PP

…except for a few notable exceptions.

“Appeared to”? What is WRONG with you people? CdnMediaFailed CdnMediaFails

Appeared to? Get your heads out of your backsides

No “appeared to” about it!! SMH

Now that 'some' cpc_hq trolls have experienced the backlash at supporting NeoNazis, etc. & seen the light, others have not! stephenharper , pierrepoilievre, melissalantsman, CandiceBergenMP, LeslynLewis, etc.

The woman has helped destroy so many Canadians not to mention future generations. I'd say she got off pretty easy. A few bad words? Liberals are so sensitive 🙄

So it was just a verbal confrontation With all the condemning I thought her life was in danger

Lol, the elite in this country have done an amazing job of brainwashing the average citizen to believe that they are closer in social status to their rulers then the peasant who yelled at Freeland.

It was a small price for her to pay.

you should just stop, just stop! Don't you remember the article's you guys put in your paper last year?!?! We'll never forget!

'Appeared to'? Be better

now imagine a government hiring a guy like this, and fund him a $133,00 to 'fight racism' . Liberals have been silent.

Freeland enjoyed her operations in UKRAINE during the illegal 2014 coup d etat

“Appeared to verbally accost”?! Video evidence “suggests” that he IN FACT was verbally ASSAULTING the Deputy Prime Minister even though he and his accomplice did not APPEAR to know her correct name.

Bandera is revered as a hero by many Ukrainians for leading the political wing of the anti-Soviet independence movement, but is regarded as a traitor by others for leading an insurgent war against Soviet forces and collaborating with Nazi Germany.
