The Fair Elections Act: Then what did we have before? VICTOR DE JONG INTERROBANG There’s no sin more damnable in politics than voter suppression. Voting is the foundation of democracy. It’s the mechanism by which people are able to engage in the political system that shapes the direction of the country as a whole. The next federal election is only a short year away, but the Conservative Party of Canada is trying to pass Bill C-23, “The Fair Elections Act,” a 250-page document that would change the fundamental structure of how Elections Canada is managed and how they conduct investigations. The bill is a dense piece of legislation that critics are con- cerned could lead to voter suppression or even violate the constitution. The federal Conservative Party of Canada is still recovering from accusations that they tried to shape the outcome of the 2011 fed- eral election through illicit methods. On Election Day, May 2, automated messages or “robocalls” were reported by over 30,000 Canadians across the country with a large contingency from Guelph. The calls con- tained inaccurate voting information in an apparent attempt to misdirect voters to improper, or nonexistent, poll stations. Pope Francis and the challenge Justice Richard Mosley found that “the pur- pose of those calls was to suppress the votes of electors who had indicated their voting preference in response to earlier voter iden- tification calls.” Despite acknowledging that to consumerism the contact list had likely come from a Increasingly we seem to believe that we will time spent in the virtual world means we pull Conservative database, he failed to find evi- become happiest by owning more material back from contact with real human beings dence directly linking them to any wrongdo- NOTES FROM DAY SEVEN things, travelling, going to concerts and and human concerns. ing.

He returns to London this week, and if you only see one concert this year, you wouldn’t be sorry to make it this one. Chris Luedecke (pronounced LOO-de-kah) hails from Chester, Nova Scotia, and any claim to his being an old man is purely rooted in songwriting; he exhibits the kind of cool, effortless knack for story- telling that did the artists he sings about, but if he’s feeling beyond his years it’s probably a result of his staggering tour schedule. On the road now, Luedecke kicked off his most recent tour with Australian singer-songwriter Jordie Lane in Newfoundland at the end of January. Beginning in the Maritimes and ending in British Columbia in March, the two are crossing the country together, stopping in town to per- form at the London Music Club on February 19. The tour marks the continuation of their recent Australian circuit; Get Lane took Luedecke on tour across the continent in October and November last year, and now in Canada it’s time to return the favour.
