Wayne Easter, the Liberal Party of Canada MP for Malpeque, PEI, rouses concerned citizens at the Action Against Electoral Fraud rally held on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, March 5 2012 :

It's appropriate that it's a cold day in Ottawa [ -24 °C ] when this demonstration is on because what we've seen in the last election, some of the things that have happened, puts a chill down the spine of Canadians that this kind of activity shouldn't be happening in our country, Canada.

There's greater attack on individuals and persons who are putting their name on the line to run in an election, rather than debating issues, let's attack the individual, and that pattern has been developed by the current Prime Minister.. and that's not the kind of electoral production that we would like to see, we want to see elections that debates issues, rather than attacking individuals, that's the Republican style of election that we've seen south of the border that's been imported into Canada

Even worse.. elections you are there, yes, to win your election, but it seems to be the attitude of the Prime Minister, it's not just about winning, it's about destroying the enemy and political opponents who are there to debate and discuss the issues, from his perspective seem to be there to be destroyed, and that not the kind of electorial politics that we want to see in this country.

There's two types of robocalls, there's one in which we all call and poll and see who our supporters are, and there's the other, which is involved in electoral fraud, which is to impersonate that you're of a party that you're not, to try and prevent that person from going to vote, there's the others that impersonate Elections Canada to try and make them go somewhere where the polling station is not, and that's what the investigation is on, so don't be distracted

If the Prime Minister was really concerned, as he ought to be about this issue.. he'd do what the rest of us are asking for and that is to call for an inquiry into this issue to get to the bottom of it to see if there is electoral fraud and who is behind it 

Thank you for standing up for election rights in Canada and our rights as a democratic nation
