Someone Is Waging A Weird Campaign Of Hot Dog Terrorism Against This Town's Mayor

    Youthful hijinks, or something darker?

    This is Charles Pender. He's the mayor of Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador.

    But he's also [cue dramatic music] the target of a hot dog terrorist.

    Pender, who is running for reelection, recently tweeted photos of a vandalized campaign sign.

    "Signs are expensive," Pender tweeted. "I hope this is not how it's going to be."

    [Cue dramatic music again] But little did he know, this was how it was going to be.

    A week after Pender's campaign sign was vandalized, someone left a bunch of hot dogs on his car windshield.

    Donnie sign vandalism has progressed to incursions into my property and home.

    Pender told CBC News that he considered it "minor mischief," but he still alerted the police, who said they'd investigate.

    "Unfortunately, when you're a candidate, and mayor, sometimes you're a target for this foolishness," he said. "I'm just hoping it's over and done with now."

    At least Pender hasn't let this campaign of intimidation dampen his love of hot dogs.

    I have a hankering for a hot dog today! Come up to Dominion and support @cyn_youth #CornerBrook @HumberCommunity

    Meanwhile, the hot dog bandit is still out there somewhere.
