Way back in 2001, Elections Canada charged a certain Paul Bryan for violating section 329 of the Canada Elections Act. Stephen Harper, then President of the National Citizens Coalition, a conservative lobby group that has campaigned against public services, the Canadian Wheat Board, the Canada Health Act, the Canadian Labour Congress and the admittance of Vietnamese refugees (“boat people”) to Canada, wasn’t too happy. Especially mind-boggling is Harper’s pretense to caring about individual freedom, freedom of speech, the Internet and the “free flow of information.”
