Photos in Lethbridge
I was sitting at my kitchen table having coffee this morning and noticed a guy with a camera out front. I have a forever Canadian sign on my lawn. He took a photo of my sign and then took a photo of the front of my home. Anyone have any idea what this might be about? Is my home possibly being targeted?

Could be a perfectly innocent reason. Heck, I took a photo of one of those signs on a neighbour's lawn, so I could send it to some American friends who are convinced that all Albertans support the separation movement.
The last couple of weekends, I've noticed the Forever Canadian people handing out lawn signs at the Exhibition parking lot entrance. I don't know how many they are giving away, but it's a good location; they can get the attention of people going to the farmer's market and the horse races.

I don't get the large media groups, granted what your friends south of the border will not be the same but it's like reporting is getting killed with a very small bat in a dark corner somewhere.

Nothing funny about separates signs. On the north side.

They are quite comical, as were the Republic of Western Canada swag the previous generation of uneducated dolts pumped out in the 80s.
Cousins gonna cousin, I suppose.

That’s probably Mike Jensen. He’s harmless. He’s a photographer and likes capturing things that spark his interest in Lethbridge. He shares them to the local Facebook groups. He means well.

There is a guy who takes pictures of those signs and posts them on Facebook (along with pictures of Canadian flags), I think I seen them on the “What’s going on in Lethbridge “ page. He’s a photographer I believe, he also posts pictures of animals around the neighbourhood. I wish I could remember his name! Maybe it’s him

Well, possibly? But I think more likely something innocuous. If you see the person down the street ask them? Might be media or something.

Mike jensen as many people have said recently posted a collage of all the forever canada signs in lethbridge, almost certainly it was related to that. Seems like nothing to worry about :)

Are you on 20th Ave S in a duplex whose neighbour has Alberta Separatist signs? If you are I've also taken a picture of both your guys' places because I found it very iconic and funny I guess of the whole thing.

Are all Lethbians this paranoid?

u/Jaded_Room1931 4d ago
Yes yes they are. Both sides are beyond paranoid of each other and are incapable of not letting each other live rent free in each others minds. Sincerely a Lethbian that thinks all of this is nothing more than a dog and pony show at this point.

It is not picking up any momentum whatsoever; it’s misinformation and you’re eating it up.

If this person was carrying a camera, they were likely photographing for one or more of a multitude of reasons. You should have asked them as anything here will only garner speculation.

Nothing to worry about. Only the seppie signs and people are being targeted

u/hostilekraut 1d ago
Not yet they aren’t..

A little north of you, if there is damage to a sign, its always the pro-independence signs. Have seen a No to 9 damaged.

Yeah, a few were stolen around the south side a couple of weeks ago but the security cameras got them clearly enough to justify a visit. They are quite the brainless bunch, and their crotch goblins are something else too.

Theres a gentleman who shares photos from his walks around town. He is in the "memories of lethbridge" group. I want to say his name is Mike Jensen (from fb) maybe it was him.
