I think Chantal Hébert is right.

Here's her argument.

And thinking ahead to 2015, I'm remembering some things Rick Mercer said in 2011. And how they might still hold true.

Am I wrong?

You're not wrong

I only saw the Globe's article on this about a half hour ago, but I'm still wondering if stripping Elections Canada of the power to investigate fraud isn't the real lede buried in this act.

Wondered about that. A lot.

By the by, could you post a link to that article?

This is indeed Disturbing.

As in "I find the Conservatives' lack of love for democracy Disturbing" to paraphrase George Lucas.
