#C-25 is now law. From now on a voter caught nominating more than one candidate will be investigated and slapped with a max fine of $25,000...a (sad) effort by MPs to deny us the platform we use to point out MPs shouldn't be in charge of election rules because it's an obvious conflict of interest⚖️

Today at PROC MPs catch at the very last minute what would have been quite the embarrassing oversight in Bill C-25. Prior to today's amendment Official Agents were been tied to candidates for eternity (rather than per election cycle)
"We're just doing a small protest and we follow every law this is the crazy part, we follow every law while a lot of protests don't follow all the laws and that's ok" - Sébastien CoRhino

I don't think the rules for hockey games should be written by the winners of the last Stanley cup...so why are the rules for the election written by the winners of the last election" -Sébastien CoRhino
Sebastien CoRhino appeared at Senate today😀 Lots more clips incoming!
Last clip of the day. Senator Todd Lewis complements the LBC as getting "a lot of press" and "very effective" I've always suspected the real gripe MPs have with long ballots is that we get attention and how we use that attention, EC's write in ballot solved all other issues.
Senator Batters is not happy, demands tougher penalties for long ballot organizers #billc-25
CEO of Elections Canada responding to a question about gerrymandering in the Senate today: "[The act] was created to take away from political actors the task of drawing boundaries...and it does create completely independent commissions and it is a highly valued aspect of our democratic process"
"Alberta’s next election should serve as Canada’s warning on gerrymandering. We should remember that we already solved this: Independent, bipartisan electoral boundary commissions should be left to do their work." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: Canadian gerrymandering is at the expense of urban voters
In Alberta, Quebec and Ontario we’ve seen cities lose out in favour of rural ridings
