Perhaps because a by-election was planned for September 8th in Westmount—Ville-Marie before it got canceled by the general election, “vandals” have had an extra month to get to work. For instance, it seems that the NDP’s Anne Lagacé-Dowson was a fairly popular target, especially because one of her sign configuration goes at street level. Some markings seen around were somewhat less-flattering.
By comparison, the Liberals’ Marc Garneau, their star candidate in Westmount—Ville-Marie (he was a former astronaut), only has one type of poster, almost invariably large and posted well out of reach of urban pranksters.
While the integrity of election signs is protected by law, some people will unscrupulously hitchhike their brands on the electoral train…
