Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Today, I had a car key made at Canadian Tire. The key didn’t fit, so I had to return it 4 minutes later and I had to show photo ID.
I have agree with Dennis Miller on this voter ID matter.
With the widespread election fraud, practiced by the donkey side of the aisle, who loudly object to voter ID, most of the current fraudulent election fraud is stopped dead by voter ID.
Voter ID suppresses that segment of voters, who shouldn’t be voting anyhoo…like dead people, non-citizens, felons and multiple voters.
It is bizarre that Canada has voter ID and yet allowes legally incarcerated convicts to vote.
The US Gov’g seems to be putting in place the apparatus of a police state – killing of anyone anywhere in the world, American or otherwise:
a comprehesive data centre for the NSA; complete control for the President over food supplies and distribution; compulsory IDs will be coming soon.
The Liberals want ID for everything else, except for illegal’s to vote for their Affirmative Action president.
Cigarettes, alcohol, personal ownership of firearms, but no ID required to vote for an unknown black man with his finger on a few thousand nuclear warheads that likes to invade foreign countries without congressional approval.
If the Latino’s miraculously started voting Republican, the left would demand their ID be tattooed on their foreheads, if they couldn’t be kicked out of the country ASAP.
I never understood the objection. I.D. is completely reasonable.
This is one I really don’t get down here. I’m of the mind that you should have to prove you’re a CITIZEN to vote, let alone just show ID. Voting is every citizen’s right, but this BS about how your California drivers license isn’t accepted as voting ID in Texas so the law is invalid is getting to me. Can someone explain to me what the deal is with opposing viewpoint? How can one even argue its ok NOT to show ID?
On a related rant, who ARE these people who don’t have ID and how are they even living? How do they buy beer? Cash a check? Get a hotel room?
If you’re a citizen, you have proof of it regardless of how that came to be. Any photo id and a birth cert and away you go. Passport for those that have them makes this easy. Every citizen who was not born here has a gigantic pile of photo documentation of the process. Is verifying any of this going to take too long on voting day or something?
Showing ID and proof stops ALL voter fraud (except some pretty fancy stuff). What’s the argument against?
“…if you are a student, you may bring the wrong id…”
Huh?
If you are a student, and you bring the wrong id (not yours, I suppose), seems to me either somebody ain’t teaching you right, or you just ain’t learning nothing…
the ONLY reason the leftards do not want voter ID is ~ 10% of their voter base would disappear; dead people,illegals,underaged(but look old enough),multiple voters.
BUT,if this crowd suddenly got a reality check and voted conservative,the only thing the leftards would not want is burning at the stake to prove that if they die,they must be legit to vote(and not to sure about that,either).
“Showing ID and proof stops ALL voter fraud (except some pretty fancy stuff). What’s the argument against?” – daryl, 8:18 PM
Racism.
Seriously. Nine times out of ten the “argument” is that the voter ID requirement disenfranchises blacks.
EBD >
Black or white, how low could someone be, to not be able to produce one piece of ID, but still have the wherewithal to make it to a voting station?
We know the excuses, and we know the answers, everyone does. The biggest question for me is, how could Americans get to this point of absurdness in the once greatest democracy on the planet?
It’s madness that can only come apart at it’s seams eventually.

The elephant in the room…
Does one need to show ID to collect food stamps or apply for welfare benefits in the USA?

Bang-on. Requiring photo ID would disenfranchise illegals, and the dead – er, metaphysically challenged.

I’ve heard the racism argument for this, and really don’t get that one. Is it not then racist to not let someone buy beer without ID? Don’t hear that one much. Like I said, I understand that voting is every citizen’s right, but at some point, some of the onus has to be on the individual to do something.
mhb – I thought it was the metabolically challenged that voted solid democrat. Or did they decided that “metabolically challenged” was derogatory, and decide to change themselves to “metaphysically challenged” so that the public view of them and their activities would improve?
Bethesdaguy – totally agree!
If a college student isn’t bright enough to bring the correct ID to the polling station, then he/she shouldn’t be in college. Shouldn’t be allowed to vote, either.
so, let me git this staight, if everyone has to show ID, they are being treated the same, but lefties scream racism. If we treat the someone different, the lefties scream racism, so wot the h3ll do these idiots want????
And you thought Nixon was crooked?
That you need ID for smokes but not to vote. Says all you need to know about the lefties idea of priorities against Democracy, versus human freedom.
Justthinkin, “the ONLY reason the leftards do not want voter ID is ~ 10% of their voter base would disappear; dead people,illegals,underaged(but look old enough),multiple voters.”
Bingo!
The idea that everything is okeydokey up here in Canada is not so accurate. We are supposed to require ID but the problem comes in when residency has to be shown. Ie: are you voting only once in the correct Electoral District.
There have been complaints of voters being bussed in from other Districts because the proof of residency is way too weak. ( a Canadian Tire bill of Library Card.)
As well, if you are obviously a non natural born, why can’t you be asked for citizenship papers?
I think we can see by this move by the bambamites, that they hope to close the 4% gap with the GOP by ballot fraud – getting out the illegal voters.
There is nothing lower than a desperate lefty.

You would be shocked how many Identity thief’s, or crooks are collared by Library Cards. Who lies about their name to take out books? Most folks don’t bother to have a false Library card. Gert your meaning though, once I was asked for a pay stub, if you can believe it.
To be fair to the leftards, headstones are rather heavy and all those dead people aren’t actually able to haul around their “Headstones”.

“It is part of a much wider South Asian culture”
Bingo.
Overt jalousie and pettiness is another cultural norm outside of western society. Underneath Islam are always the cultural abnormalities. The Arab cultures another prime example of misunderstanding by westerners.
Ridiculous stupidity and misunderstandings by westerners that so readily want to import these cultures wholesale yet have never experienced them firsthand.
So the Dems boldly proclaim that they are the ones who stick up for the voters who are too stupid or incompetent to provide ID to vote. (They are not mentioning the too dead, too duplicated, or too illegal part.) Glad they finally concede that many of their supporters fit that description.
