Photographer John Lehmann wanted to find a unique way to represent the three front-running mayoral candidates, so he took toy figures out on the streets of Vancouver to get snapshots of their (poseable) positions on the issues.
Action figures Kirk LaPointe, Meena Wong and Gregor Robertson outside Vancouver City Hall.
Gregor Robertson has said a priority for his Vision Vancouver party is to say no to Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, and the 340 or so oil tankers that could end up making their way through Vancouver's harbour.
Meena Wong promises a universal transit pass program costing residents only a dollar a day, and prefers LRT and buses over a Broadway subway.
Kirk LaPointe is promising to double the number of outdoor swimming pools from three to six.
Gregor Robertson visits the Point Grey Road bike lane. Robertson has been a big proponent of bike lanes during his time in office.
Meena Wong promises COPE will propose an amendment to the Vancouver Charter to empower the city to set a municipal minimum wage at $15/hour, to be indexed to inflation.
Kirk LaPointe is promising to make metered street parking outside the downtown core free on Sundays and statutory holidays.
Gregor Robertson on the track of the Arbutus corridor rail line in Vancouver. Robertson has taken a hard line in the land dispute with CP during his time in office.
