Put up a political yard sign, get murdered in Canada

Plantagenet

Canadians are known for their civility, but people who put up yard signs for candidates in Toronto are being attacked. The brake lines on their cars are being cut at night in an attempt to intimidate, injure and murder them

Put up the wrong candidate's yard sign = a cretin will cut the brake line on car

You have to admit, those things are pretty damn annoying.

I think he or she was referring to the yard signs that litter the landscape during election season, which, like Christmas, arrives earlier and earlier every year. Shocked

Yeah, the ones being attacked had signs supporting the liberal candidate.
Those conservatives are an ignorant and bloodthirsty crew up there. Guess they caught it from their cousins down south.

Reminds me of the guy that busted into the Unitarian Church down in Tennessee and started blasting people. Perhaps we're going to see an increase in incidents of people "going conservative."

Its horrible that there are right-wing vigilantes in a country as nice as Canada. Are there renegade factions in the Canadian military? 5magnify

Guess I can say the same thing about the Liberals and NDP as my "Conservative" signs were stolen 2 nights ago.

Postal/absentee votes people. Avoid the places where nutjobs might be tempted to make a statement. Vote in private and mail it in.

I was wondering how long the indoctrination of fear and violence (by FOX NEWS being introduded to Canda) would take.

No, its been here for quite some time, just simmering underneath the surface, and evidenced by our increased road rage and teenage mobs attacking single people walking by or standing at bus stops.

The US has 333 million, and we only have 33 mil. so it happens but in much smaller percentages. I think the increase in mental disorders has a lot to do with it cause our food supply is going the Us way and that will F#$% with anyones brain.
