Political Violence In Canada

A sign advertising the constituency office of NDP Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen (Skeena-Bulkley Valley) has been apparently firebombed. Coming just after an election where there was a lot more vandalism – directed against federal Liberals – than I can ever remember – and I sincerely wonder: if the Cons do lose the next election, will they resort to violence?

After reading this post courtesy Macleans’ blog, I really have to wonder. And I also sincerely wonder about the ability -- or the effort -- of the RCMP to protect people who aren't Harper supporters in the event cretins like these turn it up a notch.
