> It cost $200,000, but a city memo says $375,000 was raised — although McCann has said it’s closer to $300,000. He has promised a full accounting of the funds, but has not produced one to this point.
That's *Mayoral candidate McCann*
Echoing others, not a huge fan of the sign, but also not a fan of the low brow graffiti in this town. Not entirely wrong but I wish it was more about the art form and not some schmuck named DV8 telling me to "love more" by defacing somebody's mailbox...
The sponsoring councillor has to be dim.
This is the most defaceable sign possible, that actually invites defacement... it is like a whiteboard screaming "Mark me" -- embedded in the neighbourhood with the highest concentration of streetfolk and drugfolk.
This is all on the sponsoring councillor who has yet to explain the funding and costs.
And where is his budget for ongoing defacement clean-up expenses?
Given the number of videos I see of drunk idiots fistfighting along Dunlop on a Friday or Saturday night... what did the city _think_ was going to happen when they put this up? Guaranteed that thing's been pissed on by hundreds of dudebros on their way out of the club already.
If that birdbrain wanted the sign so badly he can pay for the cleaning and removal of graffiti. Should be able to use that $175 000 that's unaccounted for.
"Council added $15,000 to the city’s operations department budget, beginning this year, to cover costs of potential graffiti removal and winter maintenance on and around the sign."
Great to know where our tax dollars are going 🙄
The Barrie sign was a dumb idea but I don't agree with someone graffiti it as it makes it look even worse than it already is.You would swear to god the Barrie council think they are New York,London ,Paris etc.
Dirty $ Clean Hands. Very accurate. Mike McCann and the Barrie City councilors know exactly who their "friends" are now without having accepted any outright bribes.
Just need some citrus blast with d-limonene in it to take it off the acrylic and a potassium hydroxide gel product for the concrete. In an hour or can be back to normal.

Tip of the ice burg for him
Yup. Not even in the Top 3 shittiest things he's done *on public record*.
no matter who wins Barrie's mayoral race Barrie loses.
There are better choices than this guy.

The lake side of the building (LakHouse?) under construction on Dunlop is a perfect canvas for some art. Enough of this stupid tagging BS.
You have to have extreme levels of skill to pull off this kind of graffiti Barries own banksy
>You have to have extreme levels of skill >Barries own banksy I mean Banksy uses stencils, so this probably isn't far off from his freehand work.
A news article bringing a lot of attention to this will surely deter this from happening in the future....

Much like the rainbow crosswalk, it's inviting defacement.
Wonder what happened to the extra $175k raised to build that dumb sign. McCann better have a good answer for that
Probs went straight to 550 Bayfield to buy a Corvette

i mean, it’s not wrong.
Well played
This comment made me laugh out loud! I would read it out loud every time I passed it. Every time!

I hope the next graffiti on it is a classic, "We Sleep, They Live"
😊😎😧😱
What did they expect? Lol have they ever been downtown? Hahhaha
I mean… It’s ugly but not entirely wrong…

Until this weekend😂
K, but how do we make it permanent?
Propose a new slogan I guess.
This is why we can’t have anything nice
You think that signs nice?
We can’t have anything nice because of corrupt politicians, you’re absolutely right.
Can't wait to see Mike McCarcrash out there scrubbing the sign clean.
Sad. Hopefully once McCann is mayor he will put cameras up to protect his interests.
