## Resource

Scarborough MP Stuart Aubrey’s office suffered serious vandalism Friday night, with the front door destroyed and a plant ruined — an attack he calls targeted and unacceptable. Despite his usual calm demeanor, Aubrey condemned violence and intimidation in democracy, while acknowledging the perpetrator may be struggling. He stressed that political debate must remain respectful, resolved through dialogue and elections, not fear or force. Police acted swiftly, taking someone into custody, and Premier Cook praised the response while echoing Aubrey’s call for civility. Elected in 2021, Aubrey reaffirmed his dedication to constituents and thanked police for their quick action. The incident underscores how even in a democracy, tensions can erupt — and while accountability must follow, the hope is the individual receives support, reinforcing the boundaries of acceptable public engagement.
