Conservatives leaving signs out?

Ive noticed in my area the only signs left out are Conservative ones. To be clear, they arent the ones put out by the candidate but are being left out by homeowners. No other party's signs are still out.

Is this a thing Im just not aware of since I dont travel in conservative circles very much or is it just a big coincidence.

I expect to see blue ones on lawns, fences, and littering the city over the next year or more. That’s common here. The other parties clean up pretty fast. Conservatives and their supporters trash the world.

Typically, the local campaign picks up the signs so the person living there doesn't have to deal with it (and so they can be reused in the next election).

It sounds like whoever ran the Conservative campaign in your area hasn't organized proper sign retrieval yet. Maybe the sign volunteers ghosted them, maybe the sign lead flaked out, or whatever.

One one in my neighbourhood. Guy also has a Poilievre banner, and a Polievre Flag. All three on display. The sign is the candidate's sign though. I thought there was a regulation about collecting them within a certain time after an election, but haven't bothered to look it up. Seems to me once the election is over, everyone in a neighbourhood should re-focus on common interests, not political differences.

In my area we were instructed to get all signs down before 48 hours. In my area the conservatives and liberals got most signs down by 48 hours, the NDP still had a solid number up after 72 hours.

So I assume it’s as much to do with the specific campaign and not a nationwide issue.

In my neighbourhood they're all gone. There are quite a few liberal ones left sitting out on some intersections though.

@PlaidBaron In my neighborhood most were gone in the morning and all are gone by now, but I did see a few stick around for a few days.

@PlaidBaron Actually let me take that back, I just had a drive and saw a couple defiant ones still out in the wider neighbourhood.

And a very large wooden red one, that seems to be a middle finger to someone across the street.
