    Cons are safe because it isn’t their counterparts that are sending the death threats and driving to sensitive locations with guns. They’re are also geopolitically buddy buddy with assassin-happy aggressors like Modi and Putin so no fear there.

      There’s plenty of unhinged people all over the political spectrum. All you need is one person with enough motivation and little to lose.

        Yes, but it wasn’t one person who decided to have a ‘rally’ in Ottawa and disrupt everyone’s lives for weeks, was it?

        That said, it’s also worth noting that one unhinged guy got into Chretien’s bedroom one time. I suspect protection procedures, and costs, started getting reassessed around then.

            One can fuck shit up. Thousands, or millions, will fuck shit up. And one is easier to stop.
