Tory thugs in Toronto

Just round the corner from me. Not good.
"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.”"

Re: Tory thugs in Toronto
Would you have posted this thread had it been Conservative signs defaced?

Re: Tory thugs in Toronto
There were no signs defaced, but 16 cars associated with signs were vandalized.

Re: Tory thugs in Toronto
I went a-googling for reference to election poster damage. There are too many to post. It's rife I tell you, rife. All over the place, all sorts at it. Standards are falling I tell you.

Re: Tory thugs in Toronto
It's not just Toronto. Even in supposedly sleepy Burlington, we've had political signs vandalized and stolen.
I'm not going to make accusations without evidence, but it's only Liberal and NDP signs that were attacked.
We do at least have creative vandals round these parts: here's a sign that was turned into a sledge. http://yfrog.com/h4u1fltj
