| WARNING! Canadians - Do Not Eat Your Ballots - You Will Be Arrested |
| 2004-06-28 |
| From Canadian Television - And in an unusual piece of advice, Elections Canada is also reminding voters not to eat their ballots. "Eating a ballot, not returning it or otherwise destroying or defacing it constitutes a serious breach of the Canada Elections Act," Elections Canada warns on its website. Three Alberta men were charged during the 2000 federal election with eating their paper ballots. The men said they were members of the Edible Ballot Society and were protesting against what they said was a lack of real choice among candidates. See - Refugees from San Francisco are in Canada |

(giggle) Uh, yeah, man, I was, y'know, hungry, and all there was was these, y'know, ballots, and so, well... RCMP: All right, hold it right there, eh? |

| #1 BigEd: These don't sound like SF refugees. Refugees from what? The evil Bushitler regime? You wouldn't flee San Francisco for Alberta unless you were into guns, pickups, cattle, oil and wide open spaces. ("Vansterdam" British Columbia is a different matter, however.) I'm with the ballot niblers. There *is* a lack of choice in Canada. Check out this Steyn piece and scroll down to "Politics Is So Divisive". |
