Here is a question for Elections Canada.
On Live with Mike Duffy, he noted that US Citizen and resident, Micheal Moore had this to say:
These are no ordinary times, and as you go to the polls on Monday, you do so while a man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper because he's a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest? Is that how you want millions of us down here to see you from now on? The next notch in the cowboy belt? C'mon, where's your Canadian pride? I mean, if you're going to reduce Canada to a cheap download of Bush & Co., then at least don't surrender so easily. Can't you wait until he threatens to bomb Regina? Make him work for it, for Pete's sake.
Funny, the Canada Elections Act has this to say:
331. No person who does not reside in Canada shall, during an election period, in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting or vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate unless the person is
(a) a Canadian citizen; or
(b) a permanent resident within the meaning of subsection 2(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Sounds to me like Mr. Moore is trying to "refrain from voting for a particular candidate". Sort of like last time we had an election.
On another point, I wonder why the Liberal Party of Canada is not up in arms over this little news letter?. After all, we have an American. Interfering with an Election. In Canada.
