Is Widespread Election Fraud Coming to Canada?

Published November 24, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Elections, Politics


Will the next Canadian federal election be marred by widespread electoral fraud? Some would contend election fraud arrived ages ago, albeit not in any organized fashion.

But are those people correct?

The answer, sadly, is both “Yes” and “No”.

Elections Canada says it identified over 85,000 names on the federal voter list who were not citizens prior to the 2019 federal election. They removed 74,000 of those ineligible voters but gave no explanation why the other 9,000 were kept.

According to one CBC report, Elections Canada also identified roughly 3,500 cases of people voting where there is “conflicting evidence about their citizenship.”

Despite the large number of case, Elections Canada only filed six (6) criminal charges against individuals for violating the Canada Elections Act.

This tiny number may sound like an anomaly.

It’s not.

Columnist Brian Lilley, citing Elections Canada, noted that prior to the 2015 federal election 207,000 voter information cards were sent to dead people and 57,500 voter information cards were sent to people who were not Canadian citizens.

Yet after the 2015 federal election they filed only 18 criminal charges against individuals.

After the 2011 election the was just eight.

Given Elections Canada’s own numbers show massive problems with our Voter Identification system, it’s valid to question whether Elections Canada takes voter fraud seriously.

By the numbers, it’s pretty clear they don’t.

 

No Proof of Citizenship Requirement

Elections Canada published an image, shown below, during the leadup to the recent federal by-election in York Centre which asked, “Are you planning to vote?”

Elections Canada Flyer

Note the language. You must prove your identity and your address, but NOT your Canadian citizenship. If this strikes you as bizarre, you’re not alone.

Elections Canada agents are not permitted to ask anyone for proof of citizenship, only proof of residency.

According to Elections Canada, this is because “there is no one piece of identification that is universally held by all Canadians to prove citizenship. Therefore, requiring documentary proof of citizenship when registering could disenfranchise many eligible electors.”

And because we refuse to require proof of citizenship before voting, this is where Canada’s electoral system breaks down.

 

Canada’s ‘Honour System’

Elections Canada does not have the ability to validate citizenship, therefore anyone with a Voter Identification Card can cast a ballot, even if they’re not a Canadian citizen.

Elections Canada readily admits there is no safeguards to prevent non-citizens from voting.

“While we clearly communicate the citizenship requirement to vote, we depend on individuals to accurately indicate their Canadian citizenship, so we recognize the process is not perfect,” said one Elections Canada official.

From Brian Lilley:

There are more than 57,000 non-citizens and almost 207,000 dead people that Elections Canada knows about.

Could there be more?

One political operative that I spoke to told me of comparing the voters list, the one that showed who had voted, to obituaries and other databases on recent passings.

His comparison turned up many people that had voted despite being dead for years, people Elections Canada obviously didn’t know about.

 

How Voters are Registered

Part of the problem is that Elections Canada automatically registers voters using a variety of provincial and federal government databases.

We manage voter registration information using the National Register of Electors (the Register), a permanent database of Canadians who are eligible to vote in federal elections, by-elections and referendums.

We continually update the Register from a range of sources, including

    • the Canada Revenue Agency;
    • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (new citizens);
    • provincial and territorial drivers licence and vital statistics agencies; and
    • information supplied by electors when they register to vote or update their registration.

While we clearly communicate the citizenship requirement to vote, we depend on individuals to accurately indicate their Canadian citizenship.

In 2018, Parliament passed Bill C-76, the Elections Modernization Act, which gave the Chief Electoral Officer access to citizenship data to help clean up voter lists to remove people who are not Canadian citizens.

Removing individuals who they know are not Canadian citizens is a good start, but since there is no requirement for a voter to prove they are a Canadian citizen before casting a ballot it is impossible to prevent non-citizens from casting a ballot.

Adding to the problem is when the Liberal government updated our electoral system in Bill C-76, they purposefully removed the prohibition on using a Voter Identification Card as valid Voter ID.

In essence, the fact a person has a Voter Identification Card is considered proof they are a Canadian citizen and therefore eligible to cast a ballot.

While this Liberal legislation closed the bathroom window on one avenue of voter fraud, it opened both barn doors to another.

This is insane but, as I often say….

It doesn’t have to make sense. It’s government policy.

 

Elections Act Offence

It is an offence to lie about your citizenship status under the Canada Elections Act.

91 (1) No person or entity shall, with the intention of affecting the results of an election, make or publish, during the election period,

(b) a false statement about the citizenship, place of birth, education, professional qualifications or membership in a group or association of a candidate, a prospective candidate, the leader of a political party or a public figure associated with a political party.

The typical penalty, based on charge outcomes, for lying about citizenship and casting a ballot in an election is a $500 fine.

 

Mail-In Voting Challenges

Another issue we learned about just recently is Elections Canada says it has no way for Canadians to confirm their mail-in ballot was counted if an election is held this spring.

“There are ways this could be done and is something we could explore in the future, but if we’re looking at a spring election, this is not something we could implement in the short term,” said Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault.

 

For the Record:

I’ll be shocked if Trudeau doesn’t find a way to force the pandemic election he wanted so badly this fall. He needs a pandemic election  to win back the majority government he lost during those halcyon BlackFace Days. And he doesn’t dare wait too long or people will remember he’s the one responsible for the economic nightmare our country is embroiled in.

 

The Bottom Line

Will we see voter fraud in the next federal election?

Absolutely, and for two reasons.

First, because Elections Canada is not permitted to verify citizenship, and second, because the Liberal Party which currently forms government refuses to change our elections laws to prevent non-citizens from voting.

Will we see voter fraud on the massive scale we’re seeing in the 2020 US Presidential election?

No, for myriad reasons, the primary one being Canada has a completely different voting system than the United States.

In Canada, we have an independent federal agency responsible for conducting national elections.

In the United States, each individual state has its own laws governing how an election is run and every county is managed by a partisan political operative.

    Is there actually a question? It appears to be blatant and the whole system is obviously infested by vote fraud – all in one direction..

    This opinion piece pointed out a lot of failings on our end in Canada, but don’t try use say there was massive voter fraud in the US when there is absolutely no evidence of it.

      There is MASSIVE evidence of voter fraud in the US of A, Dave! Get your head out of the sand and do some serious research! Do NOT rely on lame stream media… they have been bought and paid for by the globalists!

    Finally, a person who is taking this Canadian Election fiasco seriously.

    I have been dealing with the deputy Chief electoral officer since Aug 2018 and I am totally dumb founded as to the fact they do not require original documentary proof of Canadian Citizenship as does the Passport Division of Immigration Canada when applying for a first time Passport where you must produce an original piece of documentary proof of Citizenship, so what is wrong with Elections Canada?

    Currently to the best of my knowledge there are only three pieces of documentary proof of Canadian Citizenship, a birth certificate from a province or territory within Canada, a Canadian Passport (because they require original documentary proof of citizenship) and an original Canadian Citizenship document signed by the Governor General. Seems pretty simple to me.

    I also received the same BS from Elections Canada stating that they can’t ask for proof of Citizenship as it could disenfranchise those individuals and I said no, in order to be disenfranchised you would first have to have the legal right in this case to vote and until you produce a document to prove you are a Canadian citizen you don’t have that right.

    It gets even worse. Prior to the last election I read news paper articles that some self identified non Canadian citizens were sent Voter Identification Cards (VIC’s) but said they never applied to become a voter so how did they get the cards.

    I then asked Elections Canada the question after doing some legwork and finding the Elections Canada had signed an agreement with Ontario Drivers Licence branch for the exchange of information and I believe every other provincial drivers department.

    I asked does Elections Canada use the names, addresses and birthdates of provincial drivers license information to compare with their voter registry and anyone appearing in the provincial drivers license records and 18 yrs of age or older that are not already on the voter registry are placed unilaterally on the voter registry. I never got a reply or a denial to that question so I can only assume that is taking place and that would be a reason why self proclaimed non citizens keep getting VIC’s.

    I believe based on the information I have received from Elections Canada there could be between 700,000 and 1 million or more non Canadians on the voter registry. It should be a very big concern.

    It was the Chief Electoral Officer on May 1st 2019 that stated to CTV News Ottawa and in the house they had found 103,000 non Canadians on the voter registry: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/elections-canada-set-to-eliminate-100-000-non-citizens-from-voters-registry-1.4403532 .

    No one at any level or political party wants to deal with this issue. I am amazed.

    Please keep digging and thank you for what you are doing.

    Voter Fraud is not coming… it is already here! It had already been reported in the 2015 elections with Elections Canada admitting to it, then having the audacity to state that it ‘would not be in the interests of Canada to pursue it’! That is a blatant disregard for the rule of law. In 2019 there was even more wide-spread election fraud along with foreign political interference. that is the only reason that Trudeau won, albeit only a minority government. this fraud must NOT be ignored, disregarded or shrugged off. In doing so, it makes a complete mockery of our voting system and destroys the credibility of our democratic process! Unfortunately, our election system is a farce as it is, as it only gives us the illusion of having a voice. Corporations are the ones deciding our political direction, corporations that support the liberals.
