Pierre "Poutine" Poilievre is destroying Canadian democracy with Stephen Harpers blessing

Without major change, election bill will taint 2015 election: Tim Harper

Canadians are hurtling toward an ugly collision with democracy in 2015.
 
Condemnation of the government’s election bill is now so widespread, the perception that this is an exercise in voter suppression and loaded with Conservative advantage so pervasive, that anything short of a sweeping Tory majority in the next federal election will face charges of taint.
 
That sweeping victory is hard to envision from this perch at this point.
 
Every close race will be subjected to charges of a tilted playing field or disenfranchised voters. The process itself is sure to become an election issue and, while results may stand, the only sure thing is a further erosion in Canadians’ already tenuous trust in our electoral system.
