A northern Alberta MLA says a group of people protesting COVID-19 restrictions crossed a line when they gathered outside her private residence and left behind a noose marked with a violent threat.

Tracy Allard says a protest began Sunday afternoon outside her home in Grande Prairie and soon grew to about 30 people. She said RCMP were called and the crowd dispersed about 90 minutes after police arrived.

Left behind was a noose attached to a small wooden gallows painted with the words “no to masks, end the gov’t, hang ’em all,” Allard said in a statement posted to Facebook on Monday.

An image posted by Allard shows the wooden structure lying on her lawn.

Finding the noose was “chilling,” said Allard, who has served as a UCP MLA in the Grande Prairie riding since 2019.
