The former Alberta municipal affairs minister says she is outraged after COVID-19 protesters arrived at her home over the weekend and hung a rope.
Tracy Allard says the threats and intimidation are inexcusable and says her private life and family are off-limits to the protesters.

Allard made the comments on his Facebook page where he described what happened at his home in Grande Prairie on Sunday.
She says it started with a small group of protesters that soon grew to 30, prompting the police to be called.
Allard says the protesters left a crude wooden gallows with a rope and the words: “No to masks. Finish the government. Hang them all. “
RCMP told Global News that they attended to a group of protesters outside a house on 67 Avenue in the Grande Banks neighborhood. A press release sent out later in the afternoon indicated that the protest was adjacent to Allard’s residence.
Const. Lindsay Ralph said the protesters were complying with officers’ orders and that it was a peaceful protest.
“Officers noticed there was a wooden stick with a bow on it,” Ralph said.
“It was connected to a fence located near the residence. When the officers saw that, they expected they would have to remove it and they removed it without any problem. “
Protesters gathered outside the Grande Prairie MLA Tracy Allard home on October 31, 2021.

Although it was removed from the fence, as ordered, Ralph said he could not confirm where the wooden gallows and rope ended.
According to RCMP, the file has since been closed and no charges were filed as the police were unable to identify the person responsible for bringing it or their intentions.
