Canadian politicians condemn harassment against Freeland in Alberta

Politicians across the spectrum are condemning the man who unleashed a verbal attack against Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. The tirade, which occurred in Grande Prairie, Alberta on August 26, was caught on camera.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the attack "cowardly" on the weekend and has said it demonstrates the increased targeting of people — primarily women and racialized Canadians — who speak out or work in public roles such as politics, journalism or other positions of responsibility in public life.

As David Akin reports, there are concerns such incidents are becoming all too common against politicians of all parties and even their families.
