Prince George, B.C. – It’s getting down to crunch time for the candidates and parties running for your vote in Tuesday’s British Columbia general election.
Main thoroughfares in the city are plastered with the posters of some of those who hope you’ll take notice, perhaps give them a call, and definitely remember that sign and what it represents when you cast your ballot.
And of course there’s an old adage that applies to your right to vote in a free society. If you can’t be bothered to take the little time required to vote, don’t expect anyone to be bothered to listen to your political opinion.

Pollution!
It will look a lot better when these signs are gone and the yellow Blvd’s can get mowed.
Am I the only one who sees the irony of the Green Party using plastic campaign signs?
Well #1, you can’t get away from plastic
#2, they have a LOT less of them.
I think the over use of these signs is a reflection of the unstableness of the candidate, so therefore I won’t vote for anyone who puts more than 2 signs in a row.
Guess you won’t be voting then, they all are guilty of plastering their signs everywhere. If having two signs in a row is your criteria of who to vote for instead of the issues you shouldn’t be voting anyway.
Well, #1 yes there are other options than plastic signs, wood or cardboard will work just fine for how long they are actually in use. & #2 yes they do use less than most other candidates, but they are still advertising with a product that won’t break down in the landfill, if they even make it there. Just makes for the appearance of weak politics for a party that is supposed to be based on a pro environmental platform. Why not use their budget for plastic signs & spend it on adding to green spaces in the city?
The green party signs actually appear to be reused from the last election. They’ve just covered up the previous candidate’s name.
These signs are totally overboard. Makes it hard for independents to compete if they are expected to lay out $10,000 on signs alone.
