Stephen Harpers

Stephen Harpers: Its been so long, actually, that the Conservative governments new Fair Elections Act has nothing to say about this one-time threat to Canadian democracy not a word among the 242 pages of the bill, according to The Star. In fact, an optimist might argue that the whole, overblown saga on veiled voting proves it is possible for Prime Minister Stephen Harpers government to make election laws based on reason, rather than whipped-up political emotions of the moment and Its been a while since the country was gripped with fear over people voting with their faces covered.
