Johnston's announcement was greeted with some controversy as he immediately placed a decal with the slogan "Not Bigger, but Better / Mayor / Vote Bob Johnston 2022" on his car within days of his initial announcement, potentially violating provincial election laws stating that candidates cannot incur any election-related expenses prior to the official opening of nominations on May 2.Tyler Clarke, "Mayoral candidate Bob Johnston may have already disqualified himself".

Rocca-Circelli was accused by some of being a supporter of the "Freedom Convoy", claims which she denies.
