The following is the text from a petition to His Excellency, The Right Honorable David Johnston, the Governor General of Canada. It is requesting that, in light of the revelation that significant and widespread Election fraud may have occurred during the 2011 federal election, Parliament be prorogued pending the outcome of the investigation into the alleged fraudulent activity. It is further requesting that a full,open and transparent Royal Commission be held in order to determine the legitimacy of our current government and to restore confidence in our democratic system.

Given the recent revelation by Elections Canada that 200 of a possible 308 ridings in the recent May 2011 federal election may have been subjected to harassing and misleading phone calls, we the undersigned believe that the legitimacy and outcome of that election may have been been compromised and is therefore in doubt.

Given the recent revelation by Elections Canada that 200 of a possible 308 ridings in the recent May 2011 federal election may have been subjected to harassing and misleading phone calls, we the undersigned believe that the legitimacy and outcome of that election may have been been compromised and is therefore in doubt.
It
has been estimated that the current government holds a majority based
on as few as 6,000 votes in total from 14 closely contested “swing”
ridings. If there is any truth to this, the harassing and misleading
phone calls, meant to direct voters to non existent polling
stations or badger them into not voting for the party of their
choosing, may have had a significant impact on the outcome of the
election. As such, this would be tantamount to vote tampering and
suppression and that individuals falsely pretending to be members of
a certain political party or worse, representatives of Elections
Canada, are guilty of fraud. This is little better, or perhaps, even
worse than ballot box stuffing. But Elections Canada is claiming that
as many as 2/3 of all federal ridings may have been subjected to this
possible fraudulent activity. If true, how many votes could have been
effected by this wholly undemocratic and highly illegal strategy?
This
is a deeply deeply disturbing turn of events for a Western
Democratic nation, that fraudulent behaviour and election tampering
of this magnitude might have occurred. The legitimacy of our current
government is thrown into serious question and doubt as to whether or
not they have the confidence of the majority of the citizens of
Canada casts a huge shadow on our whole democratic process. Because
of the possibility of our government occupying it's position
illegally and not being representative of the will of the
majority of citizens, it is felt that any laws or bills passed by
what is possibly an illegitimate government are subsequently illegal
and not in the best interest of the country.
What
we, the undersigned are then requesting of His Excellency, the
Governor General of Canada, is that the Parliament of Canada be
prorogued until the completion of the investigation by Elections
Canada and the RCMP. Further to this investigation, we are requesting
an open and transparent Royal Commission to look into this matter
and to make recommendations. If it is found that the outcome of the
May 2011 election was not significantly effected by fraudulent
activity, then Parliament would resume it's normal business, free and
unfettered by the pall of illegitimacy. If it is found that the
fraudulent activity occurred and had a significant impact on the
make-up of our government, we would ask your Excellency to recommend
bi-elections in the effected ridings or, if Elections Canada is
correct and 2/3 of all ridings were effected, then the current
government be dissolved and a whole new election be called.
We
are not asking his Excellency to interfere in the politics of the
country. Rather, we are seeking his support in allowing Canadians
themselves to restore justice and confidence in the great
Parliamentary democracy we have inherited.
Canadians
are fiercely proud of their democratic tradition and our reputation
as being a beacon of light and a model for developing democratic
nations. As such, even the hint of election tampering and voter
suppression tarnishes our credibility both at home and on the
international stage as being world leaders and champions of rights
and democracy. Therefore the legitimacy of our current government
must be determined once and for all. Any transgressors,must be
identified and punished to the fullest extent of the law and an open,
honest and fully transparent process must occur in order to make
these determinations. This is about democracy and whether or not our
government truly holds the confidence of the people of Canada and is
reflective of it's collective will or if our electoral process has
been usurped and subjected to the will and expertise of a handful of
fraudsters and clever confidence men".
Again, excellent and well articulated RKD. Represents, what I believe the MAJORITY of Cdns think, IMHO. This cannot be allowed to slide. Fraudulent Election=Illegal Government=Illegal Laws.
