Mr. Floatie - a brown, smiling lump of feces - will have to take a break from his environmental concerns Tuesday as he heads to British Columbia Supreme Court.
The costumed crusader for sewage treatment is being challenged by the city of Victoria because of his nomination as a candidate for the position of mayor in the upcoming municipal election.
Mr. Floatie is a high-profile and tireless reminder of Victoria's practice of pumping raw sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The man inside the costume, James Skwarok, says the city appears to be taking issue with his candidacy because only real persons can run.
It's an objection he finds moot.
"Of course I'm not a real person, I'm a big piece of poop."
