Alberta government house leader denounces anti-Notley ‘lock her up’ rally
EDMONTON — Alberta’s government house leader says a rally that called for Premier Rachel Notley to be jailed is a disturbing sign of Trump-style politics coming to Canada.
“I think the Wildrose (party) in Alberta and their supporters are trying to channel Donald Trump, and I think that that’s disgusting,” Brian Mason said Monday.
“Albertans don’t want to see that kind of politics imported into our province, but it seems that Wildrose supporters are very keen to do just that.”
Wildrose Leader Brian Jean spoke at the Saturday rally at the legislature to protest Alberta’s upcoming carbon tax.
