State supresses protests

It's a bad sign when regimes spy on their citizens, pass laws against protests and actively harras and repress people with opinions.

Even the vrry basic right to express you political preference by voting is under attack. We have seen similar voter suppression tactics in the US but the quisling Harper government seems eager to bring them to the True North Strong and Free. From vote suppressing robocalls

I like what Elizabeth May had to say about the "Fair Elections Act"... that the tradgedy of Canadian demcracy is not that some Canadians are voting more than once but that so many are voting less than once.
