It’s come to this. Now not only do we have to endure “tagging”, and ragged posters advertising any and every band, political, social & dance group, it now appears that we now have to endure TSE listed companies companies joining the cue.
This company and it’s stickers have been defacing waste receptacles in the Dal and Quinpool road area.
I’ve find a blog on the subject. They told him they would be removed. They haven’t. – http://communityherald.ca/read/80/37640
Please check out corporate website and witness their ethics claim to be squeaky clean. I guess I’m behind the times and defacing public property is now fair game.

The city should remove all of the stickers and send the guilty property management company the bill in addition to fining them for vandalism.
If ‘the city’ can let this continue whats to stop mcdees and walmart from postering wherever the fuck they want?
A year or two ago I wrote to my councillor about all the signs nailed to trees along a particular road in HRM surrounded by woods and lakes. (There were hundreds of signs!) The councillor had them removed. I was impressed. Very few have returned and they seem to be taken down. A few times I removed some myself when I saw the offender put one up, although I’m not willing to carry a ladder around for the higher ones.
BTW, it can be fun to follow around a University Painter guy putting up signs. They are super easy to take and they just drive around the city sticking them everywhere…
I hated those “I buy houses” stickers.
I would call him all the time, and tell him how I was pulling down all his signs and stickers.
He’d yell at me that “He was just trying to make an honest living!”
Ugh. I saw one of those signs stuck to a garbage can near the canteen at Point Pleasant – didn’t realize they were advertising for a company such as Killam. I would think so called guerilla marketing pisses people off more than it attracts them, esp when done by corporations.
Reminds me of this story:

city council must react soon to illegal posters…this was a problem in montreal,until city council passed a city ordinance charging the companies or bars that hire naive students to staple or tape ugly signs to city owned property…why anyone wants to live in a city surrounded by ugly signs or pathetic attempts at so called art is beyond me..please,have some civic pride and tear them down now!!
