Quite the sign

Raj Chouhan, the new Edmonds MLA, finally has the singage up on his constituency office. The sign appears to be in more languages than any other sign ever to be put up outside of an airport or the United Nations. The office is in the same location as his campaign office. This tops BC Liberals Harry Bloy and John Nuraney who put their constituency offices up just a stone's throw from their campaign offices when first elected in 2001.

Chouhan has been making the news lately for his comments about discrimination against the headgear of a Sikh player in a Langley soccer tournament. His letter to The Burnaby-New Westminster Newsleader was criticized for his knee jerk cry of racism in a subsequent letter.

Chouhan also got free advertising on the federal dime in the same issue of The Newsleader as the letter that was critical of him. That same weekend, MP Peter Julian ran an ad congratulating Chouhan and his staff on opening his office. Good work, things are finally up and running three-plus months after the election in an office that housed the campaign office. At least Peter Julian is proud of him. Maybe they can go fix Burnaby Lake to celebrate.
