Why Is Elections Canada Suppressing the Vote?

It should be a good news story. But instead it's a democratic nightmare.

Large numbers of Canadians are flocking to advance polling stations across the country.

Only to leave without casting their ballots because of the long lineups.

Are the Harper Cons Trying to Steal the Election Already?

Well we know how the Cons tried to steal the last election, and that most of the robocall gang got away.

And we know Boss Harper and his mob.

We know that if they are prepared to use naked bigotry to try to win an election, they are capable of ANYTHING.

So call me paranoid, but I find this rather alarming. 

The Robocall Scandal and the Monstrous Con Conspiracy

If you remember that the judge who sentenced Michael Sona to nine months in jail, for his role in the robocall scandal, said he didn't believe the former Con operative had acted alone.

And that during the trial, the Crown's star witness Andrew Prescott suggested that Sona's former boss was involved. 

And you remember that another judge, in another robocall case that went nowhere, also suggested it was a conspiracy.

You might think that Elections Canada would keep trying to crack the case. 

But if you did you'd be wrong.

Why Stephen Harper Won't Escape the Robocall Scandal

In my last post I said that Stephen Harper may have dodged the robocall scandal, so far. But he cannot escape the moral responsibility for what happened.

For having created a depraved culture where some of his fanatic young followers obviously thought it was OK to try to steal an election.

But of course there is also the question of CRIMINAL responsibility. Because two judges have now said that they believe there was a wider conspiracy. 

And Elections Canada needs to re-open the robocall investigation, and go after the other shadowy Con operatives who carried out this crime against democracy. 

Robocall Scandal: Did the Harper PMO Lie to Elections Canada?

He has been lucky so far. The robocall scandal hasn't yet penetrated the darkness of his foul PMO.

But now the robocall trial of Michael Sona is about to begin. Who knows who he might call upon to testify?

And this can't be good news.

The Real Reason the Cons Want to Muzzle Elections Canada

)

They are only 25 second ads designed to encourage young Canadians to vote in 2008.

But they are the reason the Cons are trying to muzzle the Chief Electoral Officer.

Not because the ads didn't work, as they claim. But because they offended Big Oil. 

Elections Canada and the Revenge of Boss Harper

Well let's be clear, as he likes to say. Forget the smokescreen of fancy words, or the long list of minor changes, or the Orwellian name, the Fair Elections Act.

Baby Face Poilievre may have pulled the trigger.

But this was Boss Harper's revenge. 

The Robocall Scandal Heats Up Again

Ring. Ring. 

Hello.

Is this Pierre Poutine?

Why do you ask?

Remember the movie The Postman Always Rings Twice?

Yeah. Why?

Because do you hear that ringing sound? My dark cockroach. It's Elections Canada. 

Pierre Poutine and the Heart of Darkness

He's still out there hiding in the shadows. His foul breath still hangs heavy in the air. But it seems the trail of the demon dialer Pierre Poutine has come to a dead end.

Elections Canada investigators tracking “Pierre Poutine” hit a dead end when the Internet address behind misleading robocalls in the last election led them to an open Wi-Fi connection in a private residence near Guelph.

So we may never know who tried to steal an election.

Elections Canada Stifles the Student Vote

I was glad to see the heroic Canada Brigade at the University of Guelph has made the Cons look like fascists.

The bad news is harvesting that student vote just became a lot harder.

An increasingly common gambit to get students to vote descended into a fierce and partisan procedural squabble at the University of Guelph on Wednesday. Now, in a bid to prevent similar headaches, Elections Canada has outlawed similar efforts across the country...eliminating a potentially easy way for students to vote early during their busy final exam period.

So the fascist apes got what they wanted.

I must say I find this decision bizarre. Shouldn't Elections Canada be doing all it can to encourage young Canadians to vote?

So why did they fold so easily?

Welcome to Harperland. Where elections are a nuisance, or an annoying experience.

“I’ve never seen this level of annoyance in any other kind of content testing we’ve done with this tool,” said Jaideep Mukerji, a vice-president with the Angus Reid polling firm.

And soon won't be necessary.

Oh well. Don't tell the students at my old alma mater.

Because they still BELIEVE...



And I believe in them. Because without that kind of enthusiasm to overcome the apathy, we won't WIN.

Besides...I spent ninety per cent of my time at McGill playing pool, and I still passed my exams. So taking twenty minutes to vote shouldn't be too hard.

Oh one more thing...since it is Friday night...did you ever wonder where those fascist Con apes came from?

Well I just found out eh?

And it's really SCARY...



OMG. Did you see the cold dead eyes of that last ape? It was DEFINITELY Harper.

The good news?

What we created elected by mistake we can DESTROY.

And the youth of Canada WILL be there when their country needs them.

Ooga boogah chunky monkey.

Have a great weekend everybody !!!
