Trudeau and Singh's teams quietly planning electoral reform legislation

[TimeOff]

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trud...tion-1.6744379

Among the items; 3 day general election voting period. Expanding mail in voting.

Unreal!

Even if all their ideas are great, ( mail-in voting is not!) anything that comes from either of those two parties is untrustworthy and therefore should have all of Canada suspicious.

That is where I sit too

If everything is run legit I really see no issue. But I also view this as opening opportunity for corruption and I don’t trust the two fools bringing it forward especially when they are so behind in the polls

If the clown gets voted in next election I will be wondering

Exactly my feelings

Why is this a good idea? If it doesn't help the Libs and the NDs then by definition it is not a good idea.

Are there ridings with close votes that this could help?

Who will be mailing in ballots, and from where?

Why do we need more days to vote? We have advance polls now.

I don't think that we want any tinkering with the electoral system this close to a general election, and I think that we are getting very close probably this spring as soon as the Libs elect an new leader. I think that JT will decide that he needs to spend more time raising his family.

Yes be very suspicious!

The main election reform proposed years ago was changing from "first past the pole" to "proportional representation" which isn't even mentioned.

If you already can't get the current mail in system right maybe they should focus on getting the current system working. 205,000 mail in ballots uncounted last federal election. https://torontosun.com/news/national...re-not-counted

If Pierre is smart, and wins a majority, he NEEDS to implement proportional representation, or the cons will never see power again for decades.

when is the line in the sand when crossed going to have a proper response?

not sure what we need to do but time is of the essence

Queue the roaming Liberal/NDP vote teams to get ready to canvass all the homeless camps for vote harvesting. This is why the 3 day voting period.
Don't kid yourself, the CBC is already on it. No doubt, they will be pushing for ability vote without ID, just like Biden was pushing in the USA, then the boxes of Liberal/NDP ballots can flow in.

Voting reform should be discussed via committee where all parties are represented. Poilievre better get on that and soon!

Why do we not sign our ballots directly? We have to sign everything else in life.

[3blade]

Wonder how many votes they will get mailed in from China?

Typical liberal. Soon as they are behind, change the rules.

^This. No, they’re criminals. No monkeyking with the system. There’s no trust or integrity for them to do so. Sleazebag scum …

NO!!!! That is all we need, crappy coalition governments, achieving zero.

Liberals need to lose their houses, suffer the consequences and learn.

x2 we’ve seen enough of the dirtbags to last a lifetime. Say no to communism.

[silver]

The US democrats have worked for this for years,

Vote on the one day , show your ID , the liberals have learned well.

Totally agree!

[waldedw]

Maybe they saw how many votes were cast in the last US election from graveyards and thought hey this might just work for us

The turd campaigned on this is 2015. Nothing mentioned after he was elected! Why the big push for electoral changes now?? Both the turd and jughead are slimeballs, lower than snakes in wagon ruts!! Don't trust a thing they say or do!!

[densa44]

I'll just say "politicians are more like one another than they are like us".

I doubt that there are enough homeless people who would vote, Liberal or ND to change an election result, or mail in ballots.

So what is their plan, and why? This is news to me.

Anyway, I stand firm on no changes until after the next election!

The minority government could pass the necessary legislation and it could get Royal assent (Passed in the Senate) before they dissolve parliment and we go to the polls.

205,000 votes can change a lot of seats.

205,000 votes is more than the population of PEI. A province that has 4 seats in the HOC.

Funny, but at this point, I wouldn’t put it past them. Desperate and no moral compass.

[glen moa]

Why can’t jt cheat enough to get a majority.

Probably because he was arrogant enough to think that he did. He will try harder next time.
