(Canada) Harrassment of Members Of Parliament up 800% [View all]

in the last few years. In particularly female politicians. Thanks to the anti-democratic forces in this country. There are lots of people every day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa just waiting to yell at politicians. It reaches the threshold of awful but lawful. It makes politicians afraid of interacting with their constituents when at home. They don't know what to expect. Police are escalating there investigation threats and developing new units to handle the aggression. Authorities blame lack of trust in government, populist rhetoric and vaccine mistrust.

Applegrove: In other words Putin who has elevated these fears online.
