Police in Port Alberni were called after a protest over the federal carbon tax became heated on Sunday, March 24.
One protester threatened Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns as he was getting out of his car by the Port Alberni Friendship Centre to attend a disability tax workshop. More than a dozen people were waiting with signs for Johns and Peter Julian, MP for New Westminster-Burnaby, who have been holding workshops on Vancouver Island.
