Safety Minister Vic Toews seems unable to avoid controversy these days.
The MP was hosting a fundraising dinner at the River Rock Casino in Richmond Wednesday night, and his presence attracted a group of about 30 protestors outside.
Some held signs and others gave speeches while waiting for Toews to appear. He never did, and the group dispersed around 7 p.m.
The Minister has been the subject of many protests lately, both in person and online, since he claimed that those who criticized Bill C-30 were siding with child pornographers.
He later backed away from that statement, but the damage was done.
A hashtag started on Twitter, #tellViceverything, and the RCMP said they are investigating threats made against Toews and his family.
On Wednesday the group Anonymous leaked what they say is the name of Toews' alleged mistress, saying that she was a babysitter between 1986 and 1993.
Anonymous claims Toews is currently living with her in a common-law relationship, and they have a child.
