By: Obert Madondo | The Canadian Progressive: The Harper Conservatives will not be introducing the comprehensive “election reform act” they promised Canadians, after all. The bill was due to be tabled in Parliament on Thursday. Apparently, the Conservatives have discovered a “last minute” issue with their own piece of legislation. An issue so [...] The post Harper Conservatives Delay Robocalls Justice… Again! appeared first on The Canadian Progressive. Linda McQuaig recently wrote an excellent column about the blatantly false portrayal of the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in the Western mainstream media. Chavez should be a hero to anyone who cares about social justice, but if your primary news sources are anywhere from CNN to the CBC to the New York Times, you might wonder why millions of Latin Americans mourned Chavez’s passing rather than celebrating. You might imagine they were in the thrall of a charismatic tyrant. I found the mainstream media’s description of Chavez as a “dictator” particularly rich, given the US endured at least . . . → Read More: wmtc: hugo chavez vs lies western media tells us You’ll get a kick out of this post.

After that election was stolen, too, I stopped voting in the US. Now, in 2012, voter suppression has reached new depths. If I still lived in the US, I don’t know if I’d vote Green or not at all.

Alas, Canada… we’re not any closer to knowing if Pierre Poutine, aka Pierre Jones, is — or isn’t — Andrew Prescott. What of the 1,394 complaints alleging specific occurrences in 234 of Canada’s 308 federal ridings? As far as I can tell, Elections Canada isn’t even investigating anything any more — except for Guelph. And, even then, recently released documents shed no light on the mysterious Pierre Poutine… And those 1300+ complaints? Well, Elections Canada still refuses to give new information about the status of the investigation — any investigation — into those other ridings.

The hearing will begin on December 10. The Cons have done everything in their power to scuttle this case, putting forth motion after motion to have evidence – and the entire case – thrown out. They’ve stalled and sidetracked and invented obstacles, but the court have taken seriously this threat to democracy.

The “independent” and “non-partisan” agency responsible for conducting federal elections and referendums in Canada is unequivocally siding with Ted Opitz, the Conservative MP who filed the appeal. Opitz is seeking to stop the by-election, which the Ontario Superior Court ordered in the spring. Should the Supreme Court allow the Conservative Party of Canada and Elections Canada to prevail, Canadians might as well abandon their quest for voter justice on the robocalls election scandal.

Why should Canada be any different? In Federal Court:* Council of Canadians: There was vote supression in the 2011 election. Conservative Party of Canada: Maude Barlow hates us.

He is also the point man for the Cons in dealing with the election fraud scandal. He is currently being investigated for cheating on election expenses (if found guilty he could face 5 years in jail). Now, it has been discovered that there appears to have been some illegal contribution activity towards Del Mastro’s campaign. So far, the guilt here points to Dean’s cousin, David Del Mastro, and the people who were paid to make additional contributions for David. But, there is no evidence (yet) that Dean knew of this contribution plan. (Read more…) So, the IP address Pierre Poutine used also accessed Andrew Prescott’s Racknine account.

This year however, that all changes, In most cities across Canada July 1st 2012 will now be known as National Stop Harper Day. One only needs to mention Steven Harper in public and his unpopularity with Canadians becomes very apparent. Harper’s general dislike isn’t without merit, in fact the list of reasons is too large to fit in a regular conversation and expands daily.

If there is clear evidence that the party in power is responsible for, or complicit in, systematic election fraud, what should be done? ___ The individuals directly responsible should face criminal charges. ___ There should be criminal charges AND by-elections just in ridings that were affected. ___ There should be criminal charges AND the governor general should dissolve parliament – we should have a completely new election. Cast your vote here! Whooee! Well, friends an’ foes, the whole robocalls election fraud scandal’s been getting pushed to the back burner. The F-35 fiasco and Lifestyles of the Rich and Bev Oda are taking priority. Thing is… the election fraud issue is probably our most troubling problem. It goes straight to the heart of our democracy — or lack thereof. I’m doin’ my bit to keep the voter suppression scandal in focus. Here’s a song I made over the weekend: Today I received an email from The Council of Canadians which includes a link to a sworn affidavit by Annette Desagne, a former employee of Responsive Marketing Group, attesting to election fraud through the misdirection of voters to the wrong polling stations. When you read the actual affidavit, you will see that she was clearly under the direction of the Conservative Party, and that her calls were not the actions of a rogue employee nor an isolated incident, both of which ‘explanations’ have been offered by the Harper regime.
