The rhetoric and vitriol thrown towards Notley and other female cabinet ministers around the province is frightening. The allegations are serious enough that many are being investigated by the RCMP.

Wildrose leader Brian Jean, who has been a vocal opponent of Bill 6, condemned violent social media comments in a Facebook post on Friday.
“These kinds of comments cross all bounds of respect and decency and have absolutely no place in our political discourse,” Jean said.
On Thursday, Energy Minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd, who comes from a farming family, broke down in tears during the final Bill 6 debate in the legislature. She said the violent discourse brought about by the debate had created a climate of fear.
“I myself was somewhat concerned to go home last week. I do know now what it’s like to be cyberbullied, I do know what it’s like to have threats.”

That you don't seem concerned or think this sort of thing is all 'just the way things are' speaks unkindly to your character in my opinion.
Also, the hollowest of hollow remarks, "They did it too."
