Nepean MPP Lisa MacLeod is once again under police protection after receiving "threatening emails" and experiencing an "unexplained mischievous incident to her personal vehicle in Ottawa," according to a tweet Thursday from her deputy chief of staff. "Minister MacLeod thanks the OPP, the Ottawa police and the broader public for their concern over her safety and security," wrote Derek Rowland. "Minister MacLeod continues to condemn threats and verbal harassment against politicians and the danger it poses to them, their families and their staff." "Entering political life, one expects to have their decisions challenged," Dudas wrote. But no one enters politics, or any job, willingly trading it for their safety or the safety of their families."
