We don't know the political affiliation, if any, of the perpetrators of this. But given the venom directed at the Liberals by the CPC over the last year, it would not surprise me to find that it was this that motivated the crimes. And when the next car loaded with kids going to hockey, with cut brake lines, careens through a red light at Younge and York Mills, will we pretend that this is the work of a "psycho"? Or will it take that to admit that the political vitriol that has become the currency against the Liberals by, for the most part, Conservative supporters, in the last year? Garth Turner has been having trouble in Halton as well. this is becoming a pattern. A dangerous one that could easily escalate fast.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16694','Mike'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16694','Mike','I will echo ALW and Devin both.
