The Yukon Party official Opposition and the Yukon NDP caucus says they 鈥渦nequivocally denounce鈥� the actions by a vandal or vandals at the Marsh Lake home of cabinet minister John Streicker.

Late last week, several areas of the property of Streicker and his wife, Susan, were spraypainted with words referring to the COVID-19 vaccine, masks and the Civil Emergency Measures Agency. A wheelbarrow on whch Streicker had painted a personal message was defaced, while a 鈥淭his is our home鈥� sign, originally from a toilet, was stolen.

One personal scrawling directed at the minister cannot be published in the Star.

鈥淭hese acts have no place in Yukon politics or the Yukon,鈥� the two opposition parties said Monday in a joint statement.

鈥淧oliticians are in the public eye and under intense scrutiny, but they should never be subject to personal attacks involving their families or their place of residence.

鈥淐anada and the Yukon pride themselves on being a respectful democracy, and what happened on the weekend was targeted, wrong, and a dark moment for all of us.鈥�

YP Leader Currie Dixon said he was 鈥渟addened to learn of the vandalism at the minister鈥檚 home on the weekend.

鈥淭here is no way a disagreement over government policy should have been turned into the personal manner it was. The thoughts of my Yukon Party Caucus colleagues and I are with John and Susan as they deal with this unfortunate incident.鈥�

NDP Leader Kate White said her caucus was 鈥渄eeply saddened to hear that minister Streicker and his wife were personally threatened at their home.

鈥淭argeting elected officials in such a personal, cowardly way has no place in the Yukon.

鈥淥ur thoughts are with John and Susan. There are ways to voice your disagreement, but violence is never the answer.鈥�
