The Fix Is Coming

 

Reports are that the Liberals and NDP are working on a bill to alter the Canadian election laws.

They want to expand voting by mail, and extend voting to three days.

These resemble the US voting practices that have caused people to doubt the validity of recent elections.

The fact that the Liberals and NDP would want to push this, despite the controversy in the US, suggests strongly that the purpose is to steal an election. And they very much believe that it can work for them.

For otherwise, why would they risk stirring up this hornet’s nest, of doubts about the security of the voting process? The payoff must be significant and certain. They must have backdoor information that it has worked to manipulate elections in the US.

Until now, the election law has taken pains to avoid people knowing any numbers until all voting is in; because this might influence later votes. Extend it for three days, and it becomes easy for some to find out—and stuff boxes strategically, or tinker with the count.

The excuse for this trickery in the US was the historic experience that blacks were, generations ago, prevented from voting by electoral trickery blocking them from the polls. This is no longer the case, but it provides cover for making the process more open, and less secure. And they could claim in the last presidential election, Covid made it more difficult for people to vote in person. And never get around to changing the law back after that.

In Canada, there is no history of any group being prevented from casting ballots by any manipulation of the rules.

If the Liberals and NDP agree on this, they will be able to get it through. 

The people who work for Elections Canada, although nominally neutral, are civil servants. The civil service heavily favours the Liberals and NDP politically. The left can count on their fix, given these new rules, being permanent.
