Canadian politicians call for calming of rhetoric following Trump rally violence
Canadian politicians on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum stressed a need Monday to avoid inflaming discussion to the point of inciting violence against public figures.
An attempted assassination of former U.S. president Donald Trump at a weekend rally in Pennsylvania prompted concern and reflection north of the border, where politicians have seen a steady increase in threatening behaviour.
The shooting in Butler, Pa., left one person dead and two others critically injured. Officials said the gunman was killed by Secret Service personnel.
Trump, who was not seriously injured, is in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention.
