Upcoming Election

I guess it is that time of year - local elections for our regional councillors & mayor.  Around my neighborough there are so many signs for all these people! I have no idea who is running for what!  When I am driving, I am on signed overload & I literally cannot stop looking at the signs to try & read them.... but they all put the lettering so small!!! I cannot read any of them! I'm squinting & literally cannot read them!!!  Perhaps I need glasses.  Well I have glasses, maybe I should just wear them.

Anyway - we are also getting the door to door people giving us flyers for themselves or the candidates they support.  My husband and I have just been piling these up.  It is very confusing - I mean candidates are handing out flyers to us, but they are running outside of our area! We are getting this really lovely collage of election flyers.

I finally decided to figure out who is who & what positions I get to vote fore.  For those of you in the city of Waterloo here is a link to find out who is running in your area!
