SASKATOON - With just two days to go before voters head to the polls, a new "party" briefly appeared on the Saskatchewan political scene - but its leaders may have to answer to authorities.
A group called the New Saskatchewan Sign Kicking Party had its moment on the networking website Facebook.
It was described as a party for the youth of Saskatchewan who are upset that they can't run for office or vote "and for any kids that just enjoy kicking political party signs."
The site displayed photos and names of students kicking down election signs in Saskatoon.
But the site also received negative messages from other Internet users, including one person who told the students "hope your parents have deep pockets."
That's because removing election signs is a federal offence and the penalty is a fine up to $5,000 or up to two years in jail or both.
