The RCMP says it is investigating the verbal harassment of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland that occurred in Alberta on Aug. 26, saying it “takes threats against public officials seriously.”
“The RCMP, or local police of jurisdiction, review all incidents to determine the appropriate course of action,” said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Caroline Duval in a statement to CTV News. “Physical action and statements made in person or online can have a significant impact and can be against the law.”
