THIS IS NOT ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH. IT IS HATE SPEECH. This vitriol does not represent #Ottawa constituents. If you think it won’t be attempted at your school board wherever you live, or you think it doesn’t affect you because you aren’t transgender or Jewish, you aren’t paying attention.

@nilikm This is absolutely beyond the pale. What actions are Ottawa police taking? My God - I’ve faced plenty of abuse as a woman politician, but never anything this frightening.
@Paulatics there is nothing more that police can do; the threats are sent anonymously and whoever is behind them could be in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Texas - anywhere. Untraceable. The level of threat is disproportionate to the little power a trustee has, but it is sadly what women in leadership roles at all levels have been dealing with around the world (and school boards don’t have the built in security of other levels of politics, so we are an easy target)
