As we're voting across the country, remember that the previous Harper CPC gov, and specifically #Poilievre as the relevant Minister, installed a bunch of steps to discourage voting, and remove Elections Canada's impartiality.

That mess was quickly removed with Bill C76 after the #CPC was booted out.

Let's not let them back in again!

The council of Canadians and the student federation are particularly pleased with four of C-76’s provisions. The bill restores the use of the Voter Information Cards as valid identification for voting. Elections Canada provides a card to all voters. It reinstates the time-honoured practice of allowing a voter to vouch for another voter by confirming their identity. It moves the chief electoral enforcement officer, the Commissioner of Elections, out of the federal prosecutor’s office – which reports to the justice minister – back to the non-partisan Elections Canada. And it abolished restrictions on Elections Canada to engage in public education on the voting process and the right to vote.
