Envelope with disturbing images and ‘suspected chemical irritant’ sent to N.S. MPs

A trio of suspicious brown envelopes – at least one containing “disturbing images” and an apparent skin and eye irritant – arrived at three local constituency offices for Conservative Nova Scotia members of Parliament Monday.

Rick Perkins, the Tory member for South Shore-St. Margarets, said the lone staff member at his office in Barrington, N.S. described the envelope as being stuffed thick with papers. When the man opened the package, he saw it was full of “disturbing images” before his eyes and hands began to burn, Perkins said.

The man rushed to rinse himself off and then called 911, and also called the offices of nearby politicians, including Perkins’ second post in Bridgewater, N.S., about 140 kilometres away. An identical envelope had arrived there too, Perkins said, but staff hadn’t yet opened it.

“It’s a pretty disturbing thing,” Perkins said in an interview Monday.

Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Yarmouth, N.S., an identical envelope had arrived at the constituency office for Chris d’Entremont, the Conservative member for West Nova.

Isabelle Lapointe, his chief of staff, said Perkins’ office called to warn them just in time, and that envelope wasn’t opened either. She said she’s grateful to Perkins’ staff member for acting so quickly.

“In provinces like Nova Scotia, everybody knows everybody,” Lapointe said in an interview Monday. “So, you know, everybody’s kind enough to double check on each other.”

The RCMP confirmed in a statement Monday evening that officers responded to “reports of a suspicious package containing a suspected chemical irritant” at the Barrington and Yarmouth offices.

“The investigation is in the very early stages and no further information is available at this time,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Marc Rose.

“disturbing images”

But it sounds like he went through and examined the all the contents of the letter?

Someone should squirt some Vax into an envelope and send that!

Then sit back and wait for the uproar.

Back to the “anthrax scare” of 2001 when you could shut down ANYTHING with an envelope of talcum powder.

That would cover “disturbing images” and skin and eye irritant.

Trudeau holds emergency meeting....goes on and on how every body is tired about covid issues.....then says.."But protests aren't the way to get through this"....."Follow the science"..... He's missed the mark entirely of why they are there.

Most likely a photo of a big rig, a piece of chewing gum with a note saying “chew on this”.
