Doesn't seem like as many photos are posted on VV as in the past.
Maybe I should carry the camera around now & then.

I have a quick question:

Is each candidate responsible for taking down their own signs after an election?
I was surprised with how fast some of them came down, especially the giant ones that were associated with the Frank Leonard slate.

Yes, and if not within a certain time frame (I know its a week for the federal/provincial anyway) they get confiscated by city works and there can be a fine given.

I took mine down the next day - a rather bleak experience as I don't think any losing candidate felt much like being seen in daylight.

I wore a hat.

I'm missing about half a dozen so if you spot one please message me. Yes, it's a humbling experience gathering them up the next morning, especially if they're spray painted and/or have tire tracks across them.

Rob, I have one your signs in my driveway. I also still have ones for Susan Woods, Chris Coleman, Vic Derman and Susan Brice. They are in a pile against the house at the moment.

The Dodds incident aside, I think the majority of vandalism came from apolitical people who are sick of all the election signs.
My prediction is it will be worse for the provincial election, will the only consolation being there are less candidates and less signs.
People here are complaining loudly that the number of candidates should be reduced. I think the number of signs should be limited too.
Those signs made a bigger mess of the park than a tent city. And I'm serious that it turns people off democracy.
At least I didn't see very many Rob Randall signs, so I think you deserved vandalism least of anyone. Not that people DESERVE it, but you know what I mean...
