Canadian politicians have expressed outrage after protesters at a political rally chanted "lock her up" about Alberta Premier Rachel Notley.
Protesters erupted into jeers at a rally against a carbon tax, hosted by the right-wing Rebel media group.
"Lock her up" was frequently chanted by Donald Trump supporters in reference to Hillary Clinton during the US election.
Mrs Clinton was under FBI investigation over her emails but Ms Notley has not faced any criminal probe.
But the New Democratic Party leader has been subject to threats of violence since her election in 2015.
The crowds began shouting the phrase outside the province's legislature on Saturday at a rally over the provincial government's planned carbon tax.
The rally was organised by Rebel Media, an online news and right-wing opinion outlet.

I want my maple syrup in exchange! :)
I thought the chant was: ‘Lock her up, eh (you hosers)!’
It’s too bad that Canada’s “right” is embarrassed, mortified, disturbed, etc by its own constituency. GOP-e lives everywhere, I s’pose.
Enthusiasm is contagious. Trump supporters have embodied it!
She obviously hasn’t well represented the electorate.
Maybe we should change it to “lock them up” given the level of corruption everywhere in government.
Ms. Notley should be grateful they aren’t chanting “Off with her head!”
Silence, ye unruly peasants!!!! /s;)
"Lock her uoop"
The revolting peasants are revolting.
Heads on pikes. Make Vlad the Impaler envious.
“Lock her up” obviously too lenient for Merkel. It should be “Hang her high”
Conservatives in Alberta split their vote between two parties, allowing a united left wing to win a plurality in enough ridings to form a government.
