Incumbent Chris Bittle says he will not be intimidated
About an hour ago, Bittle posted the following statement on his Facebook page.
"Last night, while my family and I were sleeping someone came onto my property to vandalize my car. This was clearly an attempt to intimidate me and my campaign. I am disheartened to see this, but I know this isn’t who we are as a community. Whomever this individual is, I have a message back: I will not be intimidated and I will continue to fight for St. Catharines."
Since the post went up, Bittle has received an outpouring of support.
Comments include, "a disgusting act by a coward under the cover of darkness", "this is a young man with a young family", "thank you for being a strong advocate for our community" and "this is not freedom of speech, it's hate, and it's awful."
