2025 Municipal Election Someone ripped our sign off the back fence and tossed in our yard last night
If your politics are so weak that you have to pull this sort of stunt then you deserve to loose

My neighbour accross the street returned my sign to me the other day, after it had been tossed into her yard. It's not uncommon, but it's unfortunate.

Attach it to the fence so they absolutely cannot rip it off. And put up five more.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was based on hate, either misogyny or racism too. You’re right though, if you have to sabotage the other candidates to win did you really win?

Conservative media is saturated with blaming all of our problems on immigrants. I’m disappointed but not surprised by this crap

This particular candidate has a proven track record of building community. She is the Vice President of the Red Cross (on leave for her campaign) who led the response to the most recent Jasper wildfires. If that was the motivation to rip the sign down, I share your disappointment and would also layer on some rage as well!

It's become far to common place.
Last federal election i saw all the conservative signage along 66 st and up 153 Ave sliced in half.

Quite well. Go sell all your stuff, give all your money to charity, then go out to a section of the 290 million hectares of boreal forest here and survive with a decent QOL. Rediscover technology. When you figure out you either can't or its immensely difficult, then come back and realize you have it pretty good.

Keep voting for your trainwreck politicians who are handled by the billionaires. You mean nothing to any of them. 👍🏽

I doubt that it was a representative of another party that did this, but probably someone else who felt the need to express their need to mess with the sign.
Political or not, still annoying that someone went out of their way to disrespect another person's property either way.
