Being the first time Sage and Abbey have a lawn, it is also the first election in which they could choose a lawn sign.

Last Sunday, a van pulled up and some guy put a Liberal sign in our yard and a flyer in our mailbox. While he was still parked there, I went and pulled the letter out and read the first sentence: “Thank you for supporting the Liberals and allowing us to put a sign on your property…” Then I stood and stared in his window.

When he rolled it down, somehow this weird sentence came out of my mouth: “This isn’t a Liberal property anymore”. What? That sounds ominous. I only hope I pronounced it with a capital “L” so that he doesn’t think we’re right-wingers or Marxist-Leninists or anything. He very politely removed the red sign.

Today we picked up our John Lawson endorsement.
