Donald Trump: Levant Events and Alberta Versions

donald trump: Certainly opposition to the NDP provincial government carbon levy is part of the message at Levant events, but as happened yesterday when 800 or so of his supporters showed up at a supposedly public meeting in Calgary hotel ballroom, at least some of them started acting like an ugly, bullying mob, according to Rabble. Levant model seems to be the rallies organized by Donald Trump during the recent U.S. presidential election campaign -- but the Alberta versions appear to have a more threatening tone, perhaps because they are closer to home, and to be far less well organized. But seeing as in addition to calls from the podium to remove people who dont support his message, there were credible reports out of Calgary yesterday of death threats levelled against a young woman reporter and someone waving a noose from a hockey stick, surely we can agree to stop calling these ugly events Levant organizes anti-carbon tax rallies. I cant tell you who was waving the noose shown in the photo taken at the rally, posted at the top of this story, but the victim of the death threats was Haley Jarmain, reporting on the event for News 770 in Calgary. Was laughed at. She Tweeted I got death threats. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
