The Vancouver Charter prohibits election advertising in a newspaper or magazine or on radio or television on a "general voting day". A person who contravenes this section is guilty of an offence and is liable to one or more of the following penalties: a fine of not more than $5,000; imprisonment for a term not longer than a year; and a prohibition for a period of not longer than six years from holding an elected local government office or from voting in local government elections.....

"It sounds like Raymond (Louie) is getting the police involved and this could get very serious, so I shouldn't comment," Sullivan wrote.
