NEWS RELEASE
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:

flaws at:

As a result of the following
undemocratic and accountability loopholes and flaws in Canada's
federal government, everyone in the federal government is still
effectively allowed to act dishonestly, unethically,
secretively, unrepresentatively and wastefully:

"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?"
