Canadian election watch

Yet more anti-Liberal stuff going on in my riding.

"A family with a sign received a threatening phone call saying, 'Take your sign down or you'll be next,'" Bennett told CBC News on Tuesday.

I remain baffled by this. What the hell is going on? If I had a front lawn, I'd be putting up a Bennett sign, even thoguh I'm likely not voting for her.

Unless there is a remote chance that there is a conspiracy from the top of the local conservative party, it's probably some unstable individual with a grudge. It can happen. There was a church here in the states (can't remember where) who very recently experienced a crazed gunman who attacked them because they allowed "liberal views" and he thought "liberals" had ruined his life.

I hope the police were able to trace the call. It's pretty scary.

(I also had to look up the word riding [in Wikipedia] because I wasn't entirely certain as to what you meant, although I had an idea. Did you know the word comes from late Old English by way of Old Norse?)
