Let me elaborate on my theory regarding the connection between political activism and lawn signs.
Well I do admit that there are quite a few Liberal signs in St.Boniface. I think they are mostly in response to the polarizing views of both the Conservatives and NDP.
Let’s face it; Harper is a socially conservative demagogue and Layton a closet Marxist. It's easy to see why moderates would react by putting up Liberal lawn signs. The extremist views of both the left and right in this election warrant a response.
Personally, I think it would be interesting to compare the number of lawn signs in St.B during the last provincial election versus this current federal election.
My own guess is that because the views of the provincial Progressive Conservatives and Doer NDP are much more centrist, the people of St.B were alot less likely to put up lawn signs showing their support for either party.
