It was in 2006 that candidates in one riding agreed to limit campaign signs in a bid to reduce waste, and improve the environment. We have moved from the old days of politicking when, in order to let your neighbour know your voting pledge, you would put up a sign.
One Kingston newspaper reports that they will refrain from placing signs on public property. The Globe says that it is the Green party pushing this idea through. It is not a new one.
Cooperation during campaigning is not limited to environmental issues. The sudden death of an Ottawa-area sitting MP's mother, Marion Dewar, has generated some respect for Paul Dewar who must deal with his bereavement issues while leading up to this relatively short 37-day election period.
