A Canada’s Wonderland employee with the name tag “Aaron” has been suspended by the Vaughan amusement park after grabbing a Gila Martow Thornhill PC candidate sign, punching it several times and throwing it into the hatchback of a car.

The young employee, who according to Martow, is 16 years old, put the whole thing on Snapchat for what now has been viewed by over 12,000 viewers.

Canada’s Wonderland were not amused.

“Canada’s Wonderland does not condone the actions of the associate,” said the company.

“And he has been suspended pending an investigation,” said Grace Peacock, director of communications for Canada’s Wonderland.

After tossing the sign into the back of the car, Aaron grabs the metal stand it was sitting on and bends it with both arms, making a face for the camera.

Martow said she isn’t so much angry about what Aaron did as she feels it’s a learning opportunity for the young man.

“He’s a 16-year-old kid from what I was told, it’s embarrassing for Wonderland, it’s embarrassing for his family, there’s a lesson here for him and his friends. These things go up on the internet and it’s hard to ever erase them. I’m concerned a little bit for this sake for that reason – if he was an adult, certainly the police would be a lot more concerned,” Martow said.

“I would hope he would realize it was a dumb mistake and would show a little remorse. I think it’s better left between him and his family and his employer to work out. It’s one election sign.

“We have signs being smashed every night. The only difference is with this we have video taken of someone who’s very identifiable. Just that he did it intentionally to make it public, says how ridiculous the whole thing was,” she said.
