During elections, election signs belonging to opponents are often vandalized by staff, sometimes torn away and stolen, and several incidents where opponents staff have been intimidated by that of Brown's have been alleged. Brown's campaigns also rarely file their expenditures with government agencies, violating Canadian and municipal laws. There have also been incidents where services have gone unpaid because of claims that no invoices were filed, regardless of the fact that several have been. |
