Guarding the henhouse

From a letter sent by the Conservative Party's lawyer to Pierre Boutet in the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer:

After our various discussions, you expressly confirmed to me that no advance poll or other form of polling had been sanctioned by Elections Canada for any location at the University of Guelph that day, and that accordingly, any ballots which had been received and placed in the ballot box then located at the University of Guelph were a nullity, which would not be recognized, counted or used for any purpose relating to the 41 st general election now underway.
[...]
Following our discussions, I am advised that the Returning Officer for the electoral district of Guelph, or an individual identifying herself as the Returning Officer personally attended at the University of Guelph to order that the collection of completed ballots from supposed voters continue, and further, that the hours the poll would remain open were extended for a second time that day, such that this supposed poll remained open beyond 7:00 p.m. Indeed, the final ballot was cast and put into a supposed special ballot box at 8:00 p.m. last evening...

(emph. mine)

The whole Third World-y thing here.

But remember, the beautiful thing about being on the Left is never having to say you're sorry. :-(

I have since discovered that the movement behind the votemobs is none other than two outfits called LeadNow and Project Democracy. Both organizations are related and LeadNow is affiliated with MoveOn.org and Avaaz. Two of Soros' democracy groups. So we now see Democratic Party tricks being exported across the boarder in support of Ignatieff.

Elections Canada is happy to turn a blind eye to their maverick employee creating polling stations without prior approval. Then they mislead the Conservative candidate about the practice. EC needs to come clean and apologize. They messed up and have left the wronged party hanging.

There is something seriously wrong with Elections Canada.

This could could get very ugly between now and election day.

Maybe it's time for the RCMP, with SUN TV cameras in tow, to raid the LPC and Elections Canada headquarters.

Perhaps we also need to call on Iggy's beloved UN to supervise our election.

Posted by: fiddle at April 17, 2011 12:23 AM

I still want to know when those ballots were printed, considering that April 11, at 6.00pm was the latest a candidate could get on a ballot.
To me that means no ballots could be printed prior to after 6.00p.m. local time. After printing they have to be bundled and sent to EC. I would love to see one of those ballots used at the UofG, and see if the names correspond to the legal candidates.
If you know a DRO or poll clerk, ask them how and when they get ballots for advance polls, and the May 2nd election.

Elections Canada is also sending voter cards to non-eligible voters. I wonder how many of these people are showing up at the polls and not being challenged.

When is the last time we actually had an enumeration? The main way the voters list is being updated is through tax returns. I know I haven't checked the box on the tax return since the Liberals were found using the information illegally and that was 8 or 10 years ago.

Calgarian non-citizens receiving voter cards

"Mizue Asai, a Japanese emigrant who has lived in Calgary for nine years, was perplexed upon receiving a notice which indicated she is registered to vote, in spite of the fact she is not a Canadian citizen.

"It is “at least” the second she’s received since living in Canada, said the 39-year-old.

"Under the Canada Elections Act, only Canadian citizens 18 years or older qualify to vote.

“I’ve always thought it was strange because I know I can’t vote,” Asai said.

"News reports state other foreigners living in Calgary have received the cards, which indicate their designated voting station."

Non citizens voting in Canadian elections has been happening for a very long time. My mother came to Canada in 1928. She paid taxes and voted in every election held since 1945. In 1984 she was refused a passport because she was not a citizen. She has voted in every election since then but in the mean time she took out Canadian citizenship.

How many of these students would be living in that riding on May 2? Most would be out of there for the summer, with a good portion back at home, potentially voting in some other riding. The whole advance poll concept is ripe for fraud and abuse.

Yeah, well Joe, under Canadian law your mother and non-citizen voters like her should be prosecuted and jailed/expelled.

One law for all, paying taxes alone isn't citizenship.
Foreign ships have to pay taxes to pass through Canadian waters.
She refused a Canadian passport even though she has been voting for decades?

Well Oz when you consider my mother was born a British citizen who came to Canada as a very young child, three of her brothers were highly decorated Canadian soldiers, she married a Canadian, she didn't even know she wasn't a Canadian until she wanted to visit her eldest brother who stayed in Britain after the war maybe prosecuting and jailing her is going a little overboard.

Posted by: Joe at April 17, 2011 1:59 AM

jailing her is going a little overboard.
~Joe

Jailing her and people like her is necessary to manitain the integrity of our democracy and goes further to do that than any efforts that any soldiers, regardless of the army the fought for, in any foreign expedition against any foreign enemy.
The integrity of the state of our own citizenship is more important, or haven't you studied the history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire?

Louise is correct. Joe's mother was not a Canadian citizen but this did not have any bearing on her right to vote.

The Canadian Citizenship Act of 1947 referenced at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/legacy/chap-5.asp#chap5-2 implies that she maintained her right to vote due to her British citizenship.

"However, immigrants who were already British subjects would not lose their existing rights, including the right to vote after they had resided in Canada for only one year."

There may have been subsequent changes to this since 1947 but I didn't dig that far.

Posted by: RFB at April 17, 2011 7:34 AM

The Guelph "votebomb" votebomb is clear, it is a closely fought riding held by the Libs.
And good on the con lawyer to call out the Electoral officer. If there is no control then just what is happening. And if rules arent for elections then what are they for.

But the stuff at York is different. We need a little more info. I initially thought the York votes were inside Vaughan, a closely fought riding.

But the York rsidences are within York West, Judy Sgro's riding. Which is a pretty safe riding, or has been. Now if the Italian Canadian community has truely flipped then the this becomes a posisble riding but I will be honest that would be an enormous change. The cons didnt even win the riding in 1984 sweep.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_West

So the info you want to find out is what electoral district were these votes being collected for. York West, Vaughan (Fantino's riding) or Thornhill (Peter Kent's riding). If they are being collected they should be collected for York west. If they are being collected for some other electoral district then you have a better case of electoral fraud being done.

Oh by the way, who is going to track down each and every name on the Guelph votes to ensure they dont also vote back in their parents riding? Voting twice carries a significant fine, shoudl Elections Canada ever choose to enforce.

Posted by: Stephen at April 17, 2011 9:19 AM

If it can be proven, WITHOUT QUESTION, that even ONE of those students voted twice, [or non-Canadian voted] then Elections Canada is in contempt of Canada and their own laws were broken.

They should all be fired and charged if this is proven, just like the Constantly Bashing Canada [CBC]; Human Rights Commission; Canadian Wheat Board etc....

Two weeks ago I voted early due to my being out of the country during advanced polls and the election. In the EC office, the lady only asked for a driver’s license. I got my drivers license out and explained to her that a driver’s license does not prove citizenship. At the time a had my Canadian passport out and on her desk. I explain to her that anyone can get a driver’s license, but a birth certificate, passport or health card would prove citizenship. She then asks “Are you a Canadian citizen?” Did I mention I had my passport on her desk? I said “Yes” and she did not even bother to open my passport to look to see if it was legitimate.

My concern is that Elections Canada officials are not trained as to what proves citizenship? If I was thinking at the time, I should have got her name a took it up with my local MP / candidate. I just want to make sure a Canadian election is decided by Canadian citizens only.

Posted by: qwerty at April 17, 2011 9:33 AM

I want the person behind this unethical behavior investigated by the RCMP, and I've already filed a formal complaint against Elections Canada with elections Canada.

Now I see that certain Canadians—on the left—are planning on “vote swapping”: I’ll trade you a _______ in my riding for a ________ in yours. The purpose of this is to defeat Conservatives where possible.

As one is alone in a voting booth and there’s no way for the swappers to force each other to comply with their agreement, I guess it’s legal but—as is so often the case on the left—it seems crooked (or “bent” as C.S. Lewis would say). These people are mean-spirited and unethical; their creed is “Ends justify means”. They’re unpleasant, dangerous, and are destroying the ethical/social fabric of our country, like termites.

Here’s C. S. Lewis’s perfect description of the “droogs”, with no moral centre, we’re spawning in this GODLESS society. (And yes, I believe that has EVERYTHING to do with the moral depravity we’re seeing on the left all over the place.) “We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful.”

Actually, we aren’t surprised anymore because the evil and wicked ways of the left are now in plain view: as the moral barriers have dropped to subterranean levels, the traitors, who used to act in the dark, are now exposed for all to see—and are protected by most of our institutions, including that corrupt Liberal bastion, Elections Canada. (Our institutions are now being run—into the ground—by the hordes of ethically challenged non-adults being churned out by our soft-on-discipline schools and families.) The moral inversion—Harper (Bush) and the Conservatives (Republicans) are BAD, and the lefties are the lily pure ones—is “common wisdom”: try deviating from this script to tell the TRUTH, and watch the horror in the faces of people one is fond of (or not!). To keep any semblance of good will, one had better shut up about the truth of either the left’s moral depravity or any good points about the other side.

The left has no scruples and there will be no end to their dirty tricks: like a house on the edge of an eroding hill, our civilized society, where the rule of law held sway, is “slip sliding away”. Kyrie eleison.

You know not of what you speak. My Mum immigartaed to Canada in 1924 from Donegal. Her parents & elder brothers were born when Donegal was part of the UK. Her younger sister was born in Saskatchewan. When Mum was born Donegal was part of the Irish Free State. Her mother and brothers automatically became Canadian citizens in 1948 when Canadian citizenship was created because they were born in the UK. Mum did not automatically become a citizen because she was not born in the UK (born in the same house as her brothers but the border had shifted North). She did not know this until she applied for a passport in 1970.

This happened to many folks born into Canadian families from Ireland.

If the U of G is really concerned about encouraging their students to vote, what they should do is set up booths at various locations on campus where students can have their questions answered and information about where they should vote come election day can be given out. They could even organize rides for students, just like they do for seniors and others who may have difficulty getting to the polling stations.

Is it still a requirement in Canada for employers to give their employees time off on election day? This notion about not having enough time to vote seems like a red herring, or, to be charitable, a problem that should be easy to address.

Posted by: Louise at April 17, 2011 12:26 PM

They still dont vote.....look at all of the effort that went into the YUTE vote with Obama and yet participation rates in the under 25 set didnt budge much, a small bump.

If it gets in the way of the million other distractions they have in front of them, they wnt do it. Anything that sparks of effot and they wont do it....this has always been the case and always will be with youth.

They should vote, but part of the process is making the effort. It takes them some time to learn this thing. Vote Bombs are interesting but they are apparently aimed one way.

Hatred, not too strong a word, has been whipped up. Notice the "S**t Harper says" site and the accusations of being a dictator and the claims of disenfranchisement, the vague claims of racism. All unsavoury tactics, and this is what our future leaders are being taught as legitimate tactics. Elections are only going to get worse.

I have had doubts about the impartiality of Elections Canada for a long time. I believe it was the last election that Anne McClellan won in Edmonton. Towards the end of that campaign I noticed that a number of half page ads were appearing in the Edmonton newspapers with the notation that these ads were paid for by individuals, not the Anne McCellan Campaign itself. By calling the newspapers I was able to determine roughly the cost for such ads. It was well over the amount that was allowed without registering with Elections Canada. Next step was to go to the Elections Canada website to monitor whether those individuals registered within the Election period which ends at midnight on Election Day. In all my correspondence with Elections Canada they shuffled me back and forth between various sections, I suspect hoping I would give up my quest to insure every thing was done legally until the election. One donor of advertizing was not registered within the election period. When I pointed this out to Elections Canada they told me he had in fact registered.The only problem was that when I checked the Registry his name only appeared the day after the Election which by their own rules is outside the Election Period! He happens to be a very rich and influential Edmontonian.

I remember that too Bob. I also remember the prestuffed ballot box suddenly appearing just when landslide Annie had lost the election. Then there were the ones who lived in other ridings being able to vote in Annie's riding because they had been enumerated at their place of employment as well as their place of residence. The other day I observed a senior civil servant's face book page and noticed a very anti Harper song. According to the civil service code of conduct civil servants are not supposed to express partisan view points. The posting civil servant tried to explain away her obvious partisanship by saying she simply liked the song.

Under the Powercorp boys Canada took a very steep fall in the ethics department and we as Canadians have a duty to set it right.

The left is not accustomed to having to work hard at winning especially with all the free help they receive from the compliant media.

So it's quite simple. Instead of working hard, they cheat.

Problem solved.

Frank Q., you are so right. And the lefties are absolutely not used to push back. Bring it on!

Even the NDP want an investigation into the Guelph anomaly.

At National Post on April 16, 2011:

“Students’ advance ballots ruled valid

“The Conservatives on Thursday asked Elections Canada to void the approximately 241 votes cast during a one-day special ballot at the Ontario university earlier this week, saying the polling station was illegal and unauthorized.

“They also claimed there was partisan material close to the ballot box and that their scrutineers were not granted permission to observe the voting. Both actions are in breach of the Canada Elections Act.

“And while the chief electoral officer did not pre-authorize the special ballot station, Elections Canada said in a statement Friday that the ballots are legitimate and can still be counted in the May 2 election. . . .

“While some details of what happened at the university are still murky, an NDP spokeswoman said the party wants an investigation launched.

“’These are serious allegations,’ said Kathleen Monk.

“Both Ms. Monk and Tory staff pointed to an event in 2006, when the Liberals successfully quashed a special voting booth at the University of Toronto.” I guess because the Liberals thought the NDP was getting too many votes. IMO, Elections Canada, like the CBC, is in the pocket of the Liberal Party.

Rose: "Trust me davondirt I intend to pursue Elections Canada through the courts if I have to..."

lookout: "If foxes comprised the judge and jury in a case against the fox in the hen house..."

Wallhouse Wart: "@Rose - the UN is behind most of the election fraud going on around the world. UN Supporter and sugar daddy, Soros is behind all the "democracy" movements."

lookout: "Frank Q., you are so right."

So, just to be clear, lefties have usurped the bureaucracy at all levels of Canadian government. Attempts to remedy the ensuing inevitable corruption are thwarted, because lefties have usurped the courts. Attempts to raise public awareness of this scandal are undermined, because lefties have usurped the news media, and also because the general population has been brainwashed, for lefties have usurped the primary school, high school, college, and university faculty. Meanwhile, this domestic conspiracy is being replicated on an international scale, because lefties have usurped the United Nations.

Thank goodness there are places like SDA, where the sane can find refuge.

"cheerleading for cheaters" Posted by bartinski.

What an excellent description of the msm! The msm, when drooling over Icky, Jack and Jill remind me of a flock of gushing teenage girls cheering for the school jocks on the football team. You have given us the real picture Bartinski - can anyone do a good photoshop of Bartinski's analogy?

Davenport: "Justice must be serve[d]!

'You don't think so, Davenport?

How librano of you.

Just because you sound paranoid it doesn't mean no one is out to get your wallet and total adherence to their dogma Davenport....


Not to worry I am very sure your friends/family think you are perfectly sane.

Davenport is right, we must allow these kind of ah, "irregular" voting tactics so as not to "disenfranchise" the youth vote.
I'm positive Davenport will be consistent in his views about youth voting, and agree with me we must spread this kind of MOBvote.
Together we will bring this to every Christian Church youth group across Canada.
Let the flowers of Democracy bloom, right Davenport?
Oh...wait...what?
Oh..not THOSE kind of youth..hahahahahahahahah
Davenport, you are so full of bovine scat...buhahahahahahahahahahah
