Trudeau asks leaders to take united stance after Freeland confrontation in Alberta

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Aug 29, 2022 3:27 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for political leaders to take a united stance against threats of violence and intimidation after a confrontation in Alberta last week.

A video circulating online over the weekend shows Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland inside City Hall in Grande Prairie, as a man repeatedly swears at her and calls her a traitor.

Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says in a video posted online that the incident with Freeland was ``a disgusting display of hatred and abuse.''

She expresses gratitude for municipal staff who she says ``calmly de-escalated the situation and acted in a highly professional manner despite the stressful circumstance.''
