Election reform bill an affront to democracy, Marc Mayrand says
The government's proposed overhaul of the Elections Act includes elements that constitute an affront to democracy, according to Canada's Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand.
In an interview airing Saturday on CBC Radio's The House, Mayrand said "my reading of the act is that I can no longer speak about democracy in this country."
"I'm not aware of any electoral bodies around the world who can not talk about democracy," Mayrand told host Evan Solomon.

Time to whack them out of office. Give them just enough seats so that the old PC's and Reform can fight each other to death!
