   Seems the Conservatives don't like the idea of 'strategic voting'.  I wonder   
   why the hell not?    ^ω^       
      
   Teach this Con candidate that 'messing with elections' was the 2008 and 2011   
   strategy for his party.  We're wise to you now.

   Conservative candidate apologizes for removing election signs   
      
   An Ottawa-area Conservative candidate has apologized for removing roadside   
   third-party election signs he claimed were illegal.   
      
   Walter Pamic, who is running in the riding of Kanata-Carleton, was allegedly   
   caught on video removing a "vote strategically" sign from among several other   
   signs on a grassy roadside.   
      
   In the video, a man can be seen arriving in a pickup truck, then getting out   
   and plucking a sign from the grass.  An unseen speaker in the video asks: "Are   
   you allowed to be taking those signs?"   
      
    "They're illegal signs," the man in the video replies.  "They're not   
   authorized by any third party."   
      
   On Monday evening, Pamic addressed accusations that he was tampering with   
   election signs.   
      
   "I noticed a number of illegal signs along Teron and Beaverbrook Roads," Pamic   
   said in a statement.  "As they violated the Canadian Elections Act, I took it   
   upon myself to remove them.   After discussing the matter with bylaw officers,   
   I learned that I    
   should have notified Bylaw rather than remove the illegal signs myself.   
      
   "I apologize for this mistake."   
      
   Elections Canada said it could not confirm whether the signs were illegal.
