The People鈥檚 Party of Canada has had three of its signs along Highway 97 vandalized with claims of fascism directed at the party.

The signs, along Highway 97 in West 琉璃神社, target the party鈥檚 Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola candidate Allan Duncan. The signs were spraypainted and now read, 鈥淔ascist?鈥� and 鈥淓lect a Fascist?鈥�

Duncan said he is disappointed about the incident as his party is 鈥減ursuing freedom in our democracy.鈥�

鈥淭he sentiments and message of the damage is the opposite of my personal convictions,鈥� he said.

鈥淐anada is no longer Canada without freedom. It is something else. The vile label across my name is hurtful and offensive. Our supporters cherish democracy and wish it to thrive. Participation in democratic conversation from a wide range of opinions is necessary for the health of our political system. The message imposed over my signage is opposed to what I believe in and am pursuing in this election. We are seeking to conserve liberty in our democracy.鈥�

Duncan said five signs were also knocked over but he鈥檚 unsure if that was intentional or just the wind.

Duncan said that it was Dan Albas鈥� campaign office that let him know of the vandalized signs.
