An Edmonton Businessman in Strathcona was vandalized sometime before Tuesday morning when his NDP sign and door were spraypainted, with the words 'Anti-Alta'. While it is difficult to picture Ryan Hastman with a balaclava and a can of spray paint, likely the grafitti was done by some young punk with too much time on their hands over Easter weekend, the words themselves have touched off a whirlwind of debate about what 'Albertan Interests' are as far as political parties go.
Disenfranchised Albertans have been coming out to Advance Polls in droves, whom they've voted for will continue to be a mystery until Election Day, but the debate rages about the fiscal perogitives of the CPC. Questions about the oil-sands and development of our Albertan north are among the foremost of many Albertan citizens. And the hotly contested battleground of Edmonton-Strathcona is one of three that may be indicative of changing public opinion.
Regardless, we hope the police catch the vandal and put him or her to work with a bucket of soapy water.
