More On Our Electoral System

In addition to the need for cleaning up multiple cards/voters and non Canadian voters in this post, I thought I would mention the following:

This morning on Canada AM there was a young American student studying at the University of Toronto. he wants to be a journalist and when he realized that you can vote without proof of citizenship, he used his student card and a bill (to show his address), and he got a ballot. He DID spoil it, and I hope Elections Canada does not charge him. His only purpose in doing this was to do it to write about it, and hopefully expose this major issue. Considering I blogged about this yesterday, I commend this young man for his help in pressuring for new policy on registering voters in this country.
