I doubt very much that Blogger/Google would ever shut anything down, given their track record (appeasement of the Chinese, refusing to remove libellous and/or offensive blogs, etc.).

Besides, all those blogs are hosted on U.S.-based servers and as such, they should be exempt from the provision in the law, even if the author is actually located in Canada.

If people and voters would just learn to keep themselves better informed (watch CPAC) they would know which candidate to vote for.

Why in the hell did Fry have to get in?..... AGAIN?.... silly "strategic" voters. Bunch of morons.
Hope they're happy with there lousy pick especially since there were clearly better options available from other parties.

Do people not understand how our democracy works?? vote for the candidates stupids!

ahwell, least the conservatives got more seats...
They're party and platform and leader and TEAM are strong enough to keep the not-so-great/less experienced MPs in line and reasonably progressive (in all meanings of the phrase).

I'm happy enough with the results. To bad the Liberals are still around as official opposition rather than the NDP.
Thats Jacks fault for his delusional and over ambitious expectations to lead this country.... moron.

They should change their party name to B.I.R.S.
Blind Ignorant Radical Socialist.

Of course, a blog post is not a transmission to the public. When you put election results on your website, you are not transmitting them to the public in the same way that a radio station would do.. You are rather making them available to any individual who wants to visit your site, in exactly the same way as your telephone allows anyone to call you up and ask you for information. It’s an abuse of the law to misinterpret this provision to go after blog posters.

My point of the ten hour window is not to appease individual voters but to appease the entire country. It has to be done while making other methods of voting such as electronic votes via web, mail in ballots, advance polls, voter registration days with ballots available and so on.

The three hours to vote is please excuse me a kind of arcane thing with the number of ways to vote in advance. Poll clerks, DROs, campaign staff often vote in advance. It doesn’t have to be that day. I am self employed for me to take three hours off not only means I miss the pay, it means my business does not function. No, I am saying there are ways to give more people the chance to vote early and leave election day for the uncommitted.

Again I am not suggesting that people who cannot vote on the actual day be punished. I am suggesting that with prozy voting (if it still exists) as well as advanced polls allmost everyone could make the effort.

The Advance polls could be more numerous and you could always vote at Elections Canada office prior.

In 2006 election, I voted on Christmas day 2005 EC was open and so I did it just to say what the heck, why not? If 25 of the days before the election are available to vote this would eliminate the need to have a 12 hour poll.
