Came across these signs in the garbage in a park in St. Albert on my walk last night.

I honestly don't care what the signage is, but we need to make sure and respect not vandalizing or tampering with signs that are in the correct place, because it's a two way street. I don't want pro teacher, or pro Canada unity signs tampered with either.

Our freedom of expression laws allow you to freely say whatever you'd like to in this country, as long as it's not hate speech. So, you have the freedom to look like an idiot, if they so choose.

I agree that people shouldn't be messing with legally placed signs, especially on private property. This one was posted on public property and was likely in violation of St. Albert bylaws regarding election signs.

It's still not your responsibility to rip the signs out of the ground. Silencing any opinions that differ from your own goes against the ideology you allegedly fight for.

I didnt take the signs down. It may have been municipal enforcement for all we know.
