Former public safety minister Marco Mendicino is advocating for the establishment of ‘protective zones’ around political constituency offices in Canada to safeguard MPs and their staff from escalating threats and harassment. Mendicino proposes imposing stricter criminal penalties, including jail time, on individuals who intimidate or harass within a designated buffer zone of 50 to 100 metres. This initiative follows a concerning rise in violent incidents targeting Canadian politicians, with reports of vandalism, threats, and harassment. Mendicino highlights the need for enhanced parliamentary security and urges a collective effort to address political violence. Meanwhile, discussions on bolstering police resources and legislation to combat threats against elected officials are ongoing.
