So, a frustrated Albertan cursed at Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland..Freeland later responded to the brief encounter with tact, though perhaps embellishing the “threat” factor..It’s understandable that she felt intimidated by a man — flanked by a woman also yelling a thing or two — when he walked toward her loudly swearing..Elliot McDavid, of Grande Prairie, who challenged Freeland on Friday obviously hasn’t read Miss Manners A Citizen’s Guide to Civility..His widely shared frustration with Ottawa’s policies destroying Canada, and especially Alberta, is understandable. .His behaviour is nothing to gloat about..But can please we keep this in perspective?.This isn’t a national crisis..It should be the end of the story..Oh, but it’s only the beginning. .People, even those who care little for Freeland, will milk this episode to serve their agendas. .McDavid gave ammo to the left, media, Alberta haters, and politicians who fear the unwashed might approach and speak sharply to them, disrespecting their sensitivities and ‘elite’ status. .Some wondered if the RCMP were called. .They’d have grounds to go after McDavid..Under Section 175 (1) of the Criminal Code, causing a disturbance in public by “fighting, screaming, shouting, swearing, singing or using obscene language” is a crime punishable on summary conviction..McDavid didn’t fight, scream, or sing, but he dropped several F-bombs and called Freeland a b**ch..If that law was strictly enforced, Canada’s jails would be packed with soccer moms, teenagers — and Canadians coast to coast who curse at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh every time they venture out in public..A video posted to social media shows McDavid yelling at Freeland at a Grande Prairie hotel while she entered an elevator..“Chrystia! What the f*ck are you doing in Alberta?" he yelled. "F*cking traitor. F*cking bitch. Get the F*ck out of this province," yelled McDavid..Alberta-born Freeland later responded in a statement on Twitter..“Nobody, anywhere, should have to put up with threats and intimidation.”.“I’m going to keep coming back because Alberta is home.”.Intimidation, certainly. The threat accusation is debatable. .Predictably, there were howls that McDavid launched a misogynistic attack. .When frustrated people confront male politicians about issues, they’re just upset..When frustrated people confront female politicians about the same issues, they’re misogynists..The media, beholden to Liberal government handouts, repeatedly pointed out that McDavid is bearded, wore a sleeveless T-Shirt and a ball cap. .That reeks with creepy, uppity prejudice..Behind that prejudice is a motive to feed the narrative that Albertans are a bunch of rednecks..Shut up and keep sending those generous equalization payments, you inbred losers..McDavid twice called Freeland a traitor..Ahh, he’s one of those crazy conspiracy theorists who think she’s beholden to globalists..Freeland’s position on the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Board of Trustees is dismissed by some media as fabricated paranoia. .One scribe mocked McDavid, demanding he explain to readers why he isn’t “stupid and gullible” to believe that the Liberal government is connected to the WEF..Seriously, that condescending scribe should do his homework..The WEF must have told a big fib when it listed Freeland as a board member in a September 2020 press release. .Did WEF founder Klaus Schwab also fib when he bragged in a video about having “penetrated” half the Liberal cabinet including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?.Meanwhile, maybe Canadians struggling with inflation and gas prices resent Freeland using federal coffers like her personal piggy bank to intravenously feed more than $3 billion to Ukraine in loans, grants, and cash..Who’s tracking where taxpayer money disappears into one of the most corrupt nations in the world?.But Freeland vowed that Canadian financial support would continue for “my cousins in Ukraine.”.Yeah, well, I’m Ukrainian, they’re my cousins too..But allegiance first to fellow Canadians the Liberal government has turned its back on..Freeland’s roots may be in Alberta, but where’s the evidence that she ever stood up for the province — or anywhere outside of Ottawa and Kyiv?.Did she heartily protest Ottawa wanting to impose limits on fertilizer emissions that will cripple farmers?.UCP leadership candidate Travis Toews best addressed the gravity of this “ridiculous” plan..“With a global food crisis looming, does Justin Trudeau really believe restricting the use of fertilizer is the right thing to do? As premier, I would defend Alberta farmers & use every tool at our disposal to fight these egregious federal policies,” said Toews in a recent video..Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit expressed concern over the Liberal’s “arbitrary goal.”.“The Trudeau government has apparently moved on from their attack on the oil and gas industry and set their sights on Saskatchewan farmers.”.Did Freeland object to fellow Albertan Tamara Lich’s incarcerations?.Did she speak out against the Emergencies Act? Or head outside on Parliament Hill to chat with the truckers? Or protest lives ruined, and jobs lost because of the Liberal’scrushing COVID mandates?.Was she the architect of these policies?.Did she talk to any regular Albertans about their troubles or concerns? Or is she too busy speed dialing her beloved Ukraine officials whom she bragged about being in regular contact with?.Freeland isn’t trusted or respected by regular Canadians..McDavid’s outburst shouldn’t be excused..But it was a symptom of widespread fed-up frustration..By going after Freeland like that he elevated her to a new status..She’s perceived as a victim now..Victimhood when used as a tool, always trumps accountability.
