Notley has been subjected to a series of highly publicized violent threats and images in the past year. In one instance, an image of her face was pasted on a large piece of cardboard and used as target during a golf tournament. It was condemned by critics and described by some as an example of the violence that female politicians are subjected to.

What Brian said was definitely not the language we should expect to come from a politician however I'm getting pretty sick of Notely making any political based attack against her a gender issue. The whole golf course thing was especially annoying.
I'm sorry you are a public figure, male or female, you have to be able to withstand intense and unrelenting public criticism. You are the leader of our province, lots of people are upset with you, people are going to say nasty things about you, that does not give you the right to publicly shame an individual or organization just because you dont like it. Making it a gender issue is doing a disservice to the position you hold. The issues behind the criticism is not a gender issue, the issue is you are terrible at doing your job with the province, get use to it or give the people a reason not to criticize you.
