Justin Trudeau, the leader of the third party in the Commons, was on the road this weekend, leaving his wife and 3 kids (age 7 and younger) alone at their home in Ottawa.
On Sunday morning, his wife found that there’d been a break-in during the night while she and the kids were sleeping.
The intruder didn’t take anything. Instead he left a stack of butcher knives on the kitchen counter, along with a note - contents unreleased, but described as “threatening” by the police.
Eeek!
We expect a lot of our politicians’ families. This makes it scarier.
Trudeau has apparently asked the Mounties for a security review.
I hope they catch this person. Politicians are not my favorite folks. However, they, & their families, like the rest of us, should be able to go to bed at night without the fear of a home invasion during the night.
I doubt that catching the perpetrator will end all of the fear of the family. It would be a good start, but the deed has been done. It will take a long time without any similar incidents for these folks to feel that their security is “back to how it was”. If they ever do feel that secure again. I hope they do.
The RCMP needs to catch this intruder and get this JERK (I am being nice here) off of the streets. Then the judicial system needs to keep this JERK in prison, or a mental facility, for at least a decade. I hope that Canada does a better job of this then The United States does.
I am having trouble understanding this comment, considering the United States has the highest incarceration rates in the world, much higher than Canada’s rates.
The US is 716 incarcerations per 100,000. The US holds 25% of the total number of prisoners world-wide.
Or rather, he turned himself in, after recognising himself on surveillance video.
All a drunken mistake, apparently.
The guy, 19 years old, was schlockered and trying to find his buddy’s house to crash. His buddy set him texts, telling him the backdoor would be unlocked and come on in.
Schlockered 19 year old stumbles through Rockcliffe, finds an unlocked backdoor, goes into the kitchen, plays with the carving knives, realises he’s in the wrong house, and leaves a drunken note to the homeowner, warning them that they really shouldn’t leave their backdoor unlocked.
Then leaves, stumbling off to find his buddy’s house.
“Remember, kids: in Canada, even when committing a drunken B & E, you should always be polite and think about how the homeowner could take better care of their house and family. It’s those little courteous touches that make all the difference.”
Jean throttled a protestor who got in his face, Aline bopped an intruder with an Eskimo soapstone sculpture - they looked after themselves. Who needs the Mounties?
