Some people make a hobby of collecting different things, whether it be stamps, books, or anything else, and Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is no exception.

Watson happens to have an extensive collection of yard signs from elections over the years, and he just got to add a new one to it.

In a November 10 tweet, the mayor said that his niece Olivia had sent him a sign for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the projected winners of the 2020 presidential race.

Watson shared a photo of his newest addition, and also some of the signs he has already compiled. 

It's safe to say that the collection is extensive, and includes ones from both American and Canadian political campaigns.

There are plenty of classics, including some for Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien, and John McCain.

Watson has also managed to get his hands on an old school Ronald Reagan sign, although from the photos it is unclear if it is from his run in 1980 or 1984.

There are also some deep cuts among the rest, including a sign for the 1992 presidential campaign of third-party U.S. candidate Ross Perot.
