A Calgary landlord who was filmed ripping a campaign sign off his lawn has apologized to the candidate involved.
Gar Gar, who is running for the Alberta Party in Calgary-East, posted a video on Twitter Wednesday showing a man breaking the sign after Gar had installed it at a renter’s request.
On Friday, the candidate posted an update on social media that the landlord, identified as Steve, had contacted him by email to apologize and to offer to pay for any damage to the sign. A few hours later, Gar shared a photo of the pair shaking hands over cups of coffee.
“He just came back and said, ‘it was a bad day that I had, and I don’t like any signs, regardless of which party. I just don’t want to be involved in politics.’”
Gar said he accepted Steve’s apology, and told him that he also owed an apology to the tenant.
“I think it comes back to her rights … she had a fear that day,” Gar said. “He said that’s the second thing he would do right after, to go apologize to her.”
Gar said he also plans to go talk to the renter and make sure she’s OK.
