Election Time?

You wouldn't know there was a provincial election going on. At least, not if you go by lawn signs.



I went for a rather lengthy walk earlier in the day and all I saw was a measly six signs: three for the Liberals, two for the Progressive Conservatives, and one for the Green Party. Nobody, it appears, is supporting the NDP this time around. In fact, if volume of lawn signs were an accurate method of predicting the next Member of the Provincial Parliament, the winner would come from Sutton Realty.



The situation is quite different from the last federal election, when signs sprouted all over lawns like mushrooms. I am unsure if the dearth of signs indicates a lack of interest in the election or some sort of new "green" commitment to politics in which the parties are trying to reduce their contributions to landfills.
