North Island MLA Michele Babchuk says that while lawful, peaceful protests are a part of a democratic society, protesting at the private homes of elected officials is a step too far.

In a on Monday afternoon, Babchuk said that B次元官网网址渓ines were crossed when, on Saturday, around 20 people, opposed to public health orders to protect us from COVID-19, decided to protest at my home.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淭his is completely unacceptable,B次元官网网址� the post said. B次元官网网址淢y staff, my family, my neighbours and I all have a right to a safe workplace and to be safe at home. I cannot condemn their actions strongly enough.B次元官网网址�

This was not the first protest directed at Babchuk. Earlier this month, a group of people B次元官网网址渇orced their way into my community office, all without following COVID-19 protocols and put my staff and other people I was meeting with at risk,B次元官网网址� she said.

BabchukB次元官网网址檚 post said that when she is working locally, she is happy to take the time to speak to people. She has met with those who disagree about public health orders as well.

B次元官网网址滻 have heard their concerns loud and clear, and have been perfectly clear with them that I cannot and will not advocate on their behalf when the issues they are pushing put people in our communities in very real danger,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淲e must continue to follow the science and stand up for whatB次元官网网址檚 right.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址漈he RCMP were called on both occasions, and these issues will now proceed through the courts,B次元官网网址� she said.

Babchuk will not be commenting beyond the Facebook post.
