Weirdest political intimidation decision ever!

People have been cutting the brake lines of Carolyn Bennett supporters.

Carolyn Bennett! She's like the most innocuous politician ever! She's a perky obstetrician who spouts the party line during campaign season and does harmless public health and women's caucus work the rest of the time. I cannot imagine how she's worth cutting brake lines to anyone of any political persuasion. If you're an ABCer, imagine someone with the politics of Joe Clark but no special clout within the party. Not worth the trouble, eh?

This is Toronto, there are lots of ridings close together. There are swing ridings and big-name Liberal Party candidates just a quick subway ride away. Why on earth would you pick on Carolyn Bennett?

Do you know why everyone was sure this was politically motivated, and not apolitical vandalism made to look politically motivated? I haven't been able to figure it out.

I'd assume it's because of the anti-liberal graffitti on the houses and cars?
