The home of a former MP was vandalized in Guelph earlier this week, as was the home of several others in Frank Maine's neighborhood who had signs on their front lawn supporting the local Liberal candidate.
In addition to spray-painting homes and garages, the vandals cut the brake lines on several vehicles, an act which could have resulted in serious injury or death.
The Guelph Mercury reports that the vandals spray-painted anti-Liberal and pro-NDP graffitti. Both the local Liberal and NDP candidate have denounced the vandalism.
Let's find the idiots who did this. This ain't the way we do politics in this country.

Idiots is far too charitable a word.
I wholeheartedly agree. Getting tough on crime doesn't sound so bad to them now I suspect.
What I want to know is why there hasn't been a peep about this outside of the blogosphere and the pages of the Guelph Mercury. This happened days ago, and yours is the first mention I've seen from a professional, non-local reporter.
Maybe I'm exaggerating the significance of what amounts to the attempted murder of people for their political affiliations, but I honestly expected this to surface somewhere in the wider media, even if it was only on the back pages of the Star somewhere.
