Several signs belonging to an Ontario Liberal Party candidate in Scarborough have been vandalized.
Lawn signs promoting Mitzie Hunter, the incumbent Liberal candidate for Scarborough—Guildwood have been marked with graffiti in two locations.
Hunter told the media a “concerned resident” reported the signs to her office. The graffiti includes words like “racist” and “fascist” on her signs.
“I have never had signs defaced in this cowardly, disgusting way,” she said.
