Thanks, Ry, for this interesting piece exploring varied effectiveness of different kinds of canvassing, relative to achieving different kinds of goals. My canvassing friends and I are discussing it, and we will keep exploring, learning, and putting these ideas to the test! And: I love the name of your Substack. ;)
thank you for reminding me and everyone else that this is an effective tactic. Of course it is not quarantine to work for everybody - just look at who voted for trump (did I hear some regret. too) or who did not vote at all... Get the ground game going now!

I did find a really fascinating one on lawn signs that looked specifically at Canada: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374283028_Do_Household_Political_Campaign_Signs_Help_Win_Vote_Share
