[CANADA] Residents worried after vandals strike homes with Liberal signs in St. Paul’s

Toronto resident Joanne Mills woke up Good Friday morning to find four tires slashed on the family car and made the decision to remove the Liberal sign from the family’s front lawn.

It made her angry to take down her support for Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett in St. Paul’s but she told the Star Friday she’s scared.

“I had to. I can’t risk being afraid for my family,” Mills said. “In Canada you shouldn’t have to worry about lawn signs for a political party and it makes me furious.

“I attribute this to Stephen Harper’s attack ads that make people think this kind of behaviour is acceptable.”

Police from 53 Division are investigating 16 cases of cars with slashed tires and scratched paint in the area and have asked the public for help in the investigation. They said cars had their tires slashed and paint defaced between 10 and 11 p.m. Thursday night.

Bennett said she understands that some people prefer the precaution of removing the signs. But one woman apparently said she was worried, but wouldn’t be intimidated by vandals. She left her sign up.

In 2008, vandals also cut brake lines, causing one man with an old model car to almost drive into a brick wall.

=================================================

Cons... no matter what country you live in, they're all the same.
