John Wilson, who is running in Esquimalt-Colwood, calls it ‘disheartening’
Just hours after his election signs went up, B.C. Conservative candidate John Wilson was picking some of them out of trash bins and blackberry bushes.Last week, Debra Toporowski, an NDP candidate in the Cowichan Valley, had her face cut out of a large sign placed along a busy road.
“People have the opportunity on Oct. 19 to cast their democratic vote, but when people ruin and remove your signs, they’re basically telling people how they should vote. And I don’t think that’s right.” “Mischief to property could and should be reported to the police,” said Bérubé, adding the RCMP does not keep statistics specifically on damage to election signs.
Figuring out where to put election signs can also be tricky. The province has general sign rules for elections, while many of the capital region’s 13 municipalities have bylaws governing where candidates can place signs.
