Municipal election campaign signs stolen in large numbers across Quebec
CBC
Jonathan Tabarah has been going door to door and hanging up signs with his name on them for weeks in Montreal's South Shore.
As soon as the municipal election campaigns kicked off across Quebec, his team rushed to install hundreds of signs on neighbourhood lawns in his Longueuil district.
And then the calls started pouring in.
"Many calls from citizens that were concerned in the area because their posters had been stolen," he said. "They woke up and saw that their posters weren't on their properties anymore."
Around 60 of them vanished, and Tabarah is not alone.
With just one month left before ballots will be cast and counted, candidates across the province are tripping up on the same unexpected hurdle as they try to capture voters' attention.
Election posters are being stolen at rates some say they've never seen before.
