If its older than a few years it isn't a photo radar vehicle.

All of the photo reader vehicles are F150s, or explorers (technically Police interceptors, I guess) as far as I know. Always base trim. Usually with hazard light on if beside a main road. Generally quite easy to spot.

That Sprawl list is good for summary info.
Is Brad Field and or Virginia Stone evil? They both have a point in their summary which resonates with me. I like the idea of a train to Banff via downtown and Virginia support of ocean cleanup caught my eye.
Really it comes down to which candidate would beat #####us. Davidson? Gondek? I’m not sure they don’t split the non #####us vote.

Elbow Drive near Mission, there's a Ford Explorer in Deep Impact Blue metallic that parks right near the crosswalk at 32 Ave SW and everyone hits their brakes because they think it's a radar vehicle.

Lol. Are there candidates who are against ocean cleanup?

Heading down Crowchild the other day I saw an F150 in traffic that seemed to be taking photos when drivers passed him. I haven’t received a ticket, yet, but I could have one of my own. I’ve never seen that before. Is that anew thing or did that guy leave the camera going accidentally or something like that?
I’ll be fighting mine if it comes, it was a construction zone and the sign was knocked over, which lead me to believe that it wasn’t in effect at that point. But regardless, something new to look out for I guess.

Are you sure? In my neighbourhood, all I see are lawn signs for Brent Trenholm.

We’re in Hidden Valley. He was out here one day and he seemed to catch most people at home. I think most people are people reluctant to say no to a lawn sign. It is a mix of the two though. I mean, Kumar’s platform doesn’t sound bad, and didn’t prattle on about populist garbage.

Apparently Shandro is busy campaigning for Farkas. That's an endorsement you want these days! Chances he's using his vacation time for this? Hope he comes to my door...

This thread is making the rounds in the Ward 11 Facebook group as well as community groups. Mike Jamieson, Ward 11 candidate under Craig Chandler's slate of candidates is putting up lawn signs without permission.

Interesting. I was wondering why all of a sudden I saw so many Jamieson lawn signs on my walk this morning when last week there were pretty much none.

People accusing Trenholm of the same thing (as well as pressuring ESL residents) in the comments.
Not sure how true, but he's a massive garbage fire so I'm not going to dismiss it outright.

Once again, a reminder that Chu, when first running for election, campaigned AGAINST running the Green line to his ward.

I don't know where his political loyalties lie. Is he scared perhaps of a Chandler candidate winning?

No, he just doesn't want to split the progressive vote and also might not be motivated to see the whole campaign through against the other candidates in his Ward. He's narrowing the field for the progressive movement. It's pretty clear.

A few people on my street got them without requesting them or giving permission. I can't believe someone would actually think of putting a sign on someone's lawn without asking. Shows you what kind of a dirtbag this guy is.

Hey, oh! It's city property(if close to the sidewalk) so it's fair game, right? That'd be my defense, if I were an ####### running for election.
