p.s. they've received many calls about these - not only for this station.
Not worth the call, do you really think the Nenshi team didn't ensure that it was legal to do this? (they did)
Now reports of McIver and some others having elections signs up on the properties where voting stations are (including a report of an aldermanic candidate actually inside one of the stations talking to people!)...
More than ever I think Nenshi is going to win this.
I'm meeting more people who say they're going to vote for him than not. My boss, who last week as McIver all the way has switched. A good friend of mine, who has never voted in her life, voted for Nenshi today. Not only that, but she's convinced 5 of her friends to switch their vote to Nenshi as well.
I have friends in Edmonton emailing me, saying they wished that Nenshi was running for mayor there, and that they're looking forward to seeing him aspire to higher levels of government.
Yeah I wore my Nenshi pin to school today. The teachers on my staff all seem to be supporters who will be voting for Naheed.

I'm really hoping we're not all setting ourselves up for disappointment.
Now, normally I catch the evening news to see what the results are, but tonight - 🞵🞵🞵🞵, this is more exciting than most US presidential elections. When do the polls close tonight? I want to plant my 🞵🞵🞵🞵 square in front of the TV and watch this whole thing unfold.
^^ We might be, but at least the whole ordeal wasn't one where the winner was a complete forgone conclusion.. like pretty much every other election I've voted in. I'm not being cynical, I just think the comments that I'm reading about Nenshi winning with a landslides etc is pretty hopeful I expect it to be close, and by close I mean McIver vs Nenshi, with Higgins a bit back.

8pm, CTV is starting their coverage right at 8, not sure about the other networks.
As a general rule I find the C-train stations overly sterile. I liked the chalk ads at the Bridgeland station this AM. LRT stations are gateways to communities; would be nice if there was small community board space devoted to neighbourhood events.
I remember at my university how important some of these community spaces were... Things like a community board might also give people a greater sense that the LRT plugs them in to a community and help deter vandalism.
Sort of off topic, but am glad that Nenshi's campaign team was able to recognize the potential for engaging people via LRT stations.
Wait a second - we have (tens of?) thousands of plastic and steel signs littering every square inch of public space. With the wind we get in this city, many of them have blown into traffic and at pedestrians. Based on every election up until now, a large number of them will still be up halfway through winter, and I'll be cleaning the 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 things out of my yard in April once the snow goes. I'm now personally responsible for killing at least one full-sized tree just cleaning out my mailbox from all the unsolicited campaign spam, and I can no longer answer my 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 telephone because 90% of my phone calls are now robo-dialers from Barb Higgins.
Chalk, which cannot possibly harm anyone even in a person's most insane imaginings, washes off in the first rainstorm, and isn't even noticeable unless you're staring at your feet - THIS is your concern?!?
You're a piece of work, my friend. A real piece of work. Get some 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 perspective.
Clean up teams will be dispatched - that speaks to the legality of this tactic. So think a little before you start believing you can do whatever you please just because you back nenshi.
You can't say the same for those election signs - those are permitted.

municipal elections act allows you to campaign anywhere but inside the doors of the voting station. If their going to send teams to clean up the chalk - its not legal.
