On Wednesday night in Owen Sound, more than 300 civic-minded individuals came out to hear from all six candidates who are competing to represent Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound in Parliament. The two-hour debate was lively, informative and served as a model of democratic participation.

We disagree on more than a few points, but we all agree on one thing: Vandalizing campaign signs is stupid and pointless and against the law. Whatever your party allegiance or political point of view, you are NOT doing your preferred candidate a favour. What these vandals are doing is stepping on the right of their fellow citizens to make an informed choice this October 21. Just stop.

Thank you.
