Stephen Harper Wants to Bury Election Fraud

Just when you thought they couldn’t sink any lower the Stephen Harper Party plumbs new depths in… being the Stephen Harper Party.

Why does the Harper Party dominated committee want to see the Chief Electoral Officer on Budget Day? Maybe because most of the Press will be in lockdown until after the Budget is read?

Is this a new way to muzzle the Media?

If this type of tomfoolery and chicanery were to have occurred when Lord Stephen sat in Opposition he would be calling for heads to roll, for Commissions of the Royal sort to be called.

Mr. Mulcair! Mr. Rae! Gentlemen, rev up your chainsaws!

Canadians want Harper’s head on a platter!

The fact that the Stephen Harper Party finds the robocall and other election improprieties a laughing matter and tries to pooh-pooh it away is bad enough but now to schedule the appearance of the Chief Electoral Officer before committee on Budget Day is abhorrent.

Harper may like to paint this as a minor left wing Eastern to-do, but the fact of the matter is that it is not only NDP and Liberal support calling for a full and proper investigation into this matter… it is the Conservatives too.

Not your “Harper People”, the sad little echo boxes that parrot whatever the party says.

Not your Harper MPs that can only speak when party leadership puts words in their mouths and their hands up their backside.

The True Conservatives that believe in Canada and Canadians and not Chinese and American oil barons.

They are rallying to our flag. The flag of Canadians.

You’ve forgotten your so called Reform roots. Democracy from the Grassroots is no more, if it ever was.

You’ve shown us your disdain for Democracy in your handling of the Canadian Wheat Board. This is a farmer organization, owned and governed by its members. You chose to overrule them, to write a law that will be before the courts likely for years.

The clowning and joking of the Stephen Harper Party over this current election scandal speaks volumes to me and millions of other Canadians.

This Electoral Fraud needs to be investigated, and those involved brought to justice.

Your obvious lack of interest of finding the culprits makes me wonder who they really are. Do you shake their hands when they come into your office each morning? Do they call you “Sir”?

The facts I’ve seen, the reports I’ve heard all point to the involvement of your party, the Stephen Harper Party.

The information required to contact and misdirect non supporters of your party is not available to the general public. It is not available to front line campaign staff. The release of this information to persons unknown could only have occurred if people well up the food chain in the Harper Party organization released it. Perhaps it was the “master strategist” himself.

To the Media: My challenge to you is to ensure that for each scribe you send to cover the Budget, you send one to cover the committee. Canada wants to know what the Chief Electoral Officer has to say.

If the Harper Party opts to move the meeting in camera, we want to know who moved it and who supported it.

To the Leaders on the Opposition Side of the House, Mr. Mulcair and Mr. Rae: My challenge to you is to call the Harper Party to account for their part in this and other Election Irregularities that occurred in the latest elections.

I leave it to you and the members of the Opposition Side to force a proper inquiry into these instances of Electoral Fraud and challenge for a Royal Commission to get to the bottom of this.

Not only for me, one Canadian…

Not only for those millions of Canadians who believe as I do that this needs to be addressed…

But also for the boys who lie in Flanders and Bergen Op Zoom and all the other military cemeteries and for the members of our Forces that came home but never saw their loved ones again…

Let Stephen Harper know that when he steps on Democracy he spits on the memory of those who fought to protect Democracy around the world.

The Stephen Harper Party vs. Democracy

Stephen Harper, you just doesn’t get it do you?

People have fought and people have died for democracy in every land around the world except possibly Antarctica.

Canadians serving in our forces have travelled to far off countries to help in the fight to achieve democracy for other people.

Canadians as private citizens have travelled to other countries to help ensure that their elections are properly done and the peoples of those lands were able to take part in fair and free elections.

Canadians believe in freedom. Canadians have risked their lives for freedom. Canadians have died for freedom.

Free and Fair Elections are the cornerstone of freedom, and Canadians are concerned that we may no longer have Free and Fair Elections.

When Elections Canada approached the Procedure and House Affairs Committee for increased investigative powers, it was your people, the members of the Stephen Harper Party that said “No”.

This request or rather recommendation was part of the Elections Canada Report on the 2008 General Election. These reports follow every General Election. I do not know if Increased Powers of Investigation was included in past reports but it certainly seems to be a good idea.

The Provinces already do this, why not the Nation?

In the past General Election of 2011 we have seen reports of automated “robocalls” claiming to be from Elections Canada directing people to wrong and nonexistent Polling Stations. We have seen reports of incomplete Voter Registration cards and now we are hearing about undisclosed bank accounts and “third party” agents hiring services for campaigns and being reimbursed for these expenses rather than those campaigns paying for the services directly.

This all looks less than above board to me. How about you?

I understand that you have a Party Lawyer investigating these claims internally.

I have a simple question for you. Would you have accepted an internal investigation of the “Sponsorship Scandal” done by the Liberals? Should we accept your internal investigation any more than you would have accepted theirs?

You claim to be the “Law and Order” Party, it’s time you acted like it.

Grant the powers requested by Elections Canada and make it law. Not in six months’ time in a nonbinding private member’s motion, in a real law now.

Give Elections Canada unfettered access to the information they need to see and do not cause any interruption of this investigation and do not use your position to try and influence the investigation.

I am willing to give Elections Canada the time to do their investigation, but only if it is done without interference from the government.

If they recommend a Royal Commission, I expect you to make that happen as quickly as possible.

If Elections Canada chooses to lay charges against individuals or organizations as a result of their investigations I expect you to allow the cases to proceed without interference.

The bedrock on which a democracy is built is the ability of citizens to participate in free elections. Any attempt to block a citizen from voting is an attack on democracy. Marking an X on a ballot is for most people the only time they get a chance to influence the government. Help us to ensure that no Canadian is denied their voice.

One of your supporters told me that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.

Will you join with us or have you something to fear?
