CALGARY — Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is spending more time in Alberta days after she was subjected to a profane tirade in her home province.

Freeland is to tour a transport facility on the outskirts of Calgary today.

On Tuesday, she visited a solar greenhouse facility in Olds, met with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek and attended an evening event with Calgary member of Parliament George Chahal.

RCMP say they are investigating a verbal attack on Freeland in Grande Prairie on Friday.

A video posted on Twitter shows Freeland was walking to an elevator when a man approaches her, swears and calls her a traitor.
