- Acts of vandalism disrespect all of us Instead of wondering about the symbolism of the duct tape on Conservative candidate Darrell Pasloski's election signs, and spinning an interpretation favourable to her own views (Star letters, Sept. 26), I wonder why Rachel Westfall didn't decry the defacing of the signs.
