And if this happens it is on your paper's shoulders. You promote division......

He’s not wrong, IMO. The politics of today are becoming so polarized, with intolerance and hatefulness being spewed by all sides...especially online. Ignorant comments. Disgusting memes. People getting into each other’s faces on the street. And let’s not forget foreign meddling.

The guy is nuts. Hope he doesn’t or ever owns a gun.

Absolutely a disgusting comment from a civil servant which is loyal to the PM of the day. Unprecedented!

Wot a nit he is!

Such a foolish thing to say. Time to retire.

Irresponsible comments

Time to let the Canadian government we are Boss. Time to speak up and stand up and get our nation back for the people. Itsourtax dollarspaying political wages. Soon we the People of Canada will get our nation back. And corruption will no longer exist in our government or law agen

How does the Clerk know that Trudeau never tried to in influence Minister Raybould? Was he with Trudeau 24 hours a day? The establishment in Ottawa are coming unravelled! It’s about time! Canadians are waking up and paying attention. Finally!!!

It is absolutely irresponsible for the Clerk of the Privy Council to utter such nonsense about a pending assassination in the October election campaign! The clerk should resign immediately!

He probably got his information from the same group that said it was India's fault the PMO invited a convicted terrorist to dinner

This man is simply trying to take the media’s attention away from the government scandal.

This is by far isthe most ridiculous statement I've heard ,Canadians for the most part use debate not violence ,Trudeau has definitely divided the nation but an election is coming so change can always happen,but very irresponsible statement

Geee I remember when there was a difference between the Globe & Mail and the Toronto Sun.... one was sensationalist fear mongering at its worst, the other was a newspaper. I miss those days.

Can you say red herring? The Liberals really need a distraction from their current loss of credibility.

Liberals would love to shut down public debate now that Trudeau is on the ropes.

Lol! Anything to get the spotlight off our Crime Minister right...what a joke the rotten Liberal regime must fall...

Ya just put the idea out there to some sick person, I am worried we have a paranoid undiagnosed mental person as our top public servant. If you were diagnosed and just off your meds, sorry.

Same old liberal_party

What of the political suicide unfolding before us?

Fearmongering

A conservative Senator just suggested that truckers run over people. G & M, do you think his fears are out of the ordinary?

Because only Liberals should be in government. .......that anybody else are just violent racists of course.

Setting the scene?

So, Michael Wernick Clerk_GC is spewing conspiracy theories that the Media Party are only too happy to publish? You all need to be removed from any and all positions of public influence. PaidMedia JustinJournos CDNmedia GovtCorruption

There is some truth in this as social media in many aspects may have gone a bit far as also pointed out in a similar article in The Economist. It is extremely difficult to know when to 'draw the line' but it may be as important to understand extreme thinking leading to hurt. ...

WELL I GUESS THE 'HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSING!!' COMMUNIST CHINESE SPIES IN CANADA WOULD LOVE THAT WOULDNT THEY!!

He’s experiencing this interaction differently that the rest of Canada

Unhinged! Perhaps he needs some time off?

As hyperbolic diversion tactics go, that's a new one.

The only asdassination coming is the character assassination of conservatives as the Liberals make unfounded accusations of bigotry and racism. Stop fear-mongering, leftists. Just stop it.

Michael Wernick said things today that leaves me to question both his mental ability to continue in his position and his obvious allegiance to the Liberal Party. canpoli LavScam

Canada’s top public servant fears 'somebody's going to be shot' during coming election campaignPrivy Council Clerk Michael Wernick told the House of Commons justice committee Thursday he is deeply concerned about Canada’s politics and where things are headed. .. or run over if the Conservatives get their way, according to their own Senators and apparent okay by Party Leaders. I wouldn't worry. Take a look south of the border. I think our folks are safe. Liberal cheerleader Wernick's pompous suggestion of election violence is as overblown as his contention that media reports are 'erroneous' just because he didn't witness 'undue' pressure on JWR; not exoneration of the PMO!
