A very pointed attack that proved to be ineffective

Anti-Vision Vancouver Advertisement, November 2014

These are three of a series of a dozen advertisements slamming Vision Vancouver. I saw the first two on a bus shelter on the morning of November 15, 2014. (Municipal election day in British Columbia)

While these advertisements are certainly to the point, and rather slanted, they are also dancing on the line of legality. (Double Vision does not appear on Elections BC`s list of `third party sponsors`, http://www.elections.bc.ca/docs/lecfa/Registered-Third-Party-Sponsors-Organizations-LEGE-2014-11-15.pdf)

But ultimately the advertisements did not push enough voters away from Vision Vancouver. The party elected the mayor and six of the ten members of council.

So, while the points raised might have been valid, I think the rather angry tone might in fact have pushed voters towards Vision Vancouver rather than away.
