I've seen a few CPC signs, not a single Liberal sign, and obviously a ton of Green/NDP signs. NDP had the early lead in the sign battle, but there've been lots of Green signs going up the last week. I'd say right now it's about 50/50.
I like the Green strategy of putting the big Elizabeth May/Jo-Ann Roberts combo signs along the riding border. The signs look great and it's a positive association for people in the riding (no matter what people on here say about May). Roberts has a lot going for her, and I could definitely see her taking the riding. Rankin is an okay candidate, but isn't very likable, and people around here really like voting Green these days. I think it turns into a pride thing, like "hey rest of Canada, look at us in Victoria electing Green MPs and MLAs".
Definitely a riding to watch, and certainly the only close race in the country between these two particular parties.
