What former Auditor General Sheila Fraser pictured above had to say: "

“When you look at the people who may not be able to vote, when you look at the limitations that are being put on the chief electoral officer, when you see the difficulties, just the operational difficulties that are going to be created in all this, I think it’s going to be very difficult to have a fair, a truly fair, election.”

This bill is just one in a long line of actions by Harper to cripple democracy. The Harper government: was censured by parliament for withholding information; shut down parliament after knowing it had lost the support of the House of Commons; dismissed one Parliamentary watchdog after another when they reported the truth; is gagging scientists; made savage cuts to research vital to public policy; made cuts to public broadcasting leaving information in the hands of the very rich; destroyed libraries; launched robo calls - a trick they learned from the extreme right in the US; drafted the 'Destroy Democracy Act'. I am sure in my haste that I missed some. I am concerned my grand children will know none of the freedoms of democracy. Unless we act our veterans will have died in vain.
