ROBOCALL COURT CASE STARTS THIS MONDAY (DEC 10, 2012)
by Sandra Finley - The Battles
Here! $1.9K (out of $300K needed). has been raised for the Robocall Court Case as at December 8 midnight (Saskatchewan time). Let’s see what we can add! It’s easy to do on-line: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/0OoK3. On my death-bed I would rather hand my children an intact democracy than a police state, and maybe some money.
Please forward to the strong of heart.

Maude Barlow, Council of Canadians writes:
HI Sandra - Monday we go to Federal Court for the election fraud case and we are up against a huge machine – the Conservative Party of Canada and its phalanx of lawyers, lobbyists and marketers. We have prepared this social media fundraiser to build a defence fund for the applicants and would deeply appreciate your getting this out to your contacts. We agree with the applicants from six ridings who believe that electoral fraud took place in the days leading up to the last federal election and have put ourselves on the line to support them as they seek to have the elections in their ridings overturned and re-held.
Any help you can give us would be so great. Many thanks!
Maude

What is the mainstream media telling Canadians about the upcoming Robocalls court case? It starts Monday and it’s damned important.
The Ottawa Citizen has an excellent article (but how many of you live in Ottawa?). Robocalls (election fraud): Democracy’s day in court (Ottawa Citizen) by Glen McGregor and Stephen Maher.
The Winnipeg Free Press did a robocall article on November 22, but doesn’t actually say when the court case takes place. Robocall challengers stay firm, Winnipeg Free Press
I’m having trouble finding anything else, which is consistent with Comment #3 below.

THREE COMMENTS ON THE OTTAWA CITIZEN ARTICLE (ON-LINE):
1. Linda Belanger
Maher and McGregor should get the order of Canada for their work on this. If the Supreme Court rules against the plaintiffs on this, we can kiss democracy goodbye. It doesn’t matter if the election results were affected or not, all that matters is that the fraud took place. No one can really ever ascertain if these seats would have gone the other way. The only fact that matters is that the Con party engaged in fraud on a large scale.

The Council Of Canadians has set up an online fundraiser to help Linda Hirst, Ken Ferance and the others cover the $300K cost of this court case.

Congratulations to The Ottawa Citizen for following this story while other major newspapers like the Globe and Mail completely ignore it. I agree, democracy itself is at stake, and Canadians need to have the protection of the courts and the press.

6. (2008) The Canadian Nixon

From the British paper The Guardian:
Stephen Harper’s feud with Elections Canada is just the latest front in his war against government institutions
Dimitry Anastakis and Jeet Heer guardian.co.uk, Thursday 24 April 2008 21.00 BST
Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper is in trouble with Elections Canada, the government body that runs the vote in Canada. They’ve accused him of overspending in the last election and have even gotten the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to raid the Conservative party’s headquarters to find incriminating evidence. In response Harper and his followers have lashed out against Elections Canada, accusing it of a partisan witch hunt.
The whole sorry situation shouldn’t surprise anyone who has paid attention. Every prime minister has a modus operandi. Harper’s is his utter contempt, shown not once but many times, for Canadian institutions. In fact, it is not a stretch to say that Harper simply sees many Canadian institutions – Elections Canada being simply his latest target – as illegitimate, not just in need of reform but worth attacking root-and-branch.
The historian Garry Wills once observed that Richard Nixon wanted to be president not to govern the nation but to undermine the government. The Nixon presidency was one long counterinsurgency campaign against key American institutions like the courts, the FBI, the state department and the CIA. Harper has the same basic approach to politics: attack not just political foes but the very institutions that make governing possible. The state for Nixon and Harper exists not as an instrument of policy making but as an alien force to be subdued.
Canadians have never had a prime minister who has literally made his career attacking and undermining the legitimacy of Canadian institutions.Until now. [ . . . . . ]

7. 03/14/2012 OTTAWA – Michael Sona has joined the ranks of other jilted Conservatives who suddenly find themselves defended and used by the official Opposition.
The young Tory staffer recently resigned as assistant to MP Eve Adams after unidentified sources were quoted as saying the Conservative party was investigating his possible role in placing controversial robocalls in Guelph, Ont., during the last federal election….
