Conservatives Get Lawnsigns Out First - On Sunday...

Fleetwood Port Kells
Newton North Delta
South Surrey White Rock
Mission Port Moody?
Coquitlam
Pitt Meadows Maple Ridge

Driving through these ridings yesterday, I noticed the Conservatives had multiple 4x6 or 4x8? billboards at strategic locations throughout the riding... Interestingly enough, NONE of them were on "private" property - or should I say on the front lawns of homes (where you would typically have "lawn signs").

Just goes to show that appearances are everything. Joe Q Public drives around the city and says, "hey, look at all those Conservative lawn signs... they must be winning". For the average guy who just wants to "follow the trend/be like his neighbors", this is bad news for parties that don't have their signs out earlier, and in huge numbers - even if they only are on public space, ditches, and boulevards.

I must give credit to Sukh Dhaliwal (Newton North Delta), as he did have several of his signs up. Extra credit (or maybe detention - or a move to the "remedial class") goes to Nina Grewal, whose lawn signs appeared in such distant ridings as South Surrey-White Rock, and Newton North Delta...

To Brenda Locke's Liberal team (Fleetwood Port Kells): I have a pickup, and a 4 LB hammer. Give me a few dozen of these signs, and we'll get this party started...

Cheers - and good luck to all moderate, middle of the road candidates who don't believe the "second amendment (of the US Constitution)" applies up here, who don't want to take away a woman's right to choose, and who don't want to kill our public system of health care to make way for their corporate friends - EVEN ONE FOOT IN THE DOOR - ONE "FOR PAY" CLINIC IS TOO DAMNED MUCH.

Addendum: The Connies look to have a little too much cash on their hands... With all the months of advertising, etc... It still looks like they have some cash. Mind you, this is local cash (although, from what we've found "local" or "national" funds really make no difference to the Conservatives)...
