Canada Holds 40th Undemocratic Federal Election -- Canadians Will Elect Yet Another Undemocratic and Unaccountable Federal Government

OTTAWA - Today, Democracy Watch highlighted the many loopholes and flaws in Canada's federal election system that make the current election, Canada's 40th federal election, though better than in the past, unfortunately still undemocratic. Democracy Watch also highlighted the 90 undemocratic and accountability loopholes in the federal government system that ensure no matter what political party wins, the next federal government will be undemocratic and unaccountable in key ways.

"It is very insulting to voters that federal political parties have left a dozen undemocratic loopholes and flaws in Canada's federal election system for the past 141 years, and as a result we are now holding Canada's 40th undemocratic federal election," said Duff Conacher, Coordinator of Democracy Watch.

In addition to the election call very likely being illegal (given the new fixed election date law), the following undemocratic loopholes and flaws in Canada's federal election system continue to undermine the legitimacy of elections:

"Until dozens of accountability loopholes are closed, any federal election will result in yet another dishonest, unethical, secretive, unrepresentative and wasteful federal government," said Duff Conacher, Coordinator of Democracy Watch. "Will the federal parties pledge to make the changes needed to ensure the next election will be democratic and will produce a democratic, accountable federal government?"

Quote: The survival of democracy is dependent on successful representative government; and that is conditioned upon the practice of electing to public offices only those individuals who are technically trained, intellectually competent, socially loyal, and morally fit. Only by such provisions can government of the people, by the people, and for the people be preserved.
