CBC has reported that an elderly woman from Roseau River First Nation in Manitoba was yelled at by security staff at Portage Place Shopping Centre and kicked out of the mall. Annie Henry, 79, is seeking an apology. She is diabetic and has a pacemaker and, when she was short of breath, needed to rest. She sat down on some marble planters and a security guard yelled as her, according to Henry’s daughter, but her mother was not well enough to move. The guard then told her she was “officially kicked out of the mall, and then allegedly said “I don’t care if she has a heart attack.”
