Deadline Rashly: Reform Right and Elections Canada

deadline rashly: In principle, and on most occasions, politicians should be expected to keep the promises they make to voters, according to The Waterloo Record. But in this case, what at stake is the future of Canada democratic system. If this sounds like heresy or a recipe for political suicide, it not. Getting electoral reform right must be the priority that guides the federal government — not slavishly adhering to an entirely arbitrary deadline rashly made to win votes. If the Liberals want a new system of voting in place for the next election in 2019 as they've promised, Parliament must approve of the changes by no later than May 2017 so that Elections Canada can get everything ready, Mayrand said. The imposing obstacles to any quick fix to the electoral system were clearly explained to members of Parliament last week by Canada outgoing chief electoral officer, Marc Mayrand.
