Days after Conservative MP Maxime Bernier singled out a Winnipeg park named after a Pakistani leader in an attempt to demonstrate that multiculturalism has gone too far, the park's new sign was vandalized. Masroor Khan, who campaigned to give the new park its name, was told Friday that the sign bearing that name — Jinnah Park — was knocked off its perch and left lying against a tree. "It's very hurtful and saddening to see," said Khan, standing metres from where the sign once stood in Winnipeg's South Pointe community. The city's Pakistani community will host a celebration of diversity at the park on Sunday. Indian-Canadians who supported that naming bid attended the grand opening of Jinnah Park this May, he said.
