| Probably won’t be, but you gotta admit it would be sweet! Link courtesy of Kathy "Relapsed Catholic" Shaidle, Toronto’s gift to the blogosphere. On a sunny day in June 2004, Michael Moore was ranting and raving. Yes, we know -- par for the course so far. However, what he was ranting and raving about was of significant importance. On this particular day, Michael, the self-proclaimed defender of the little guy, broke the very rules that are meant to protect the little guys, i.e. us Canadians. See, according to Part 11, Division 9, section 331 of the Canada Elections Act, it is an offence for "[Any] person who does not reside in Canada [to], during an election period, in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate unless the person is (a) a Canadian citizen; or (b) a permanent resident." Also according to Section 500 (3) of the same Act "Every person who is guilty of an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both." This is why a few of us decided to get together and petition Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer. Now this is a defence of Canadian soverignty I think we can all get behind. |

| #2 I think a Twin Otter needs a fairly level place to land. Moore is tilted way too far to the left. |

| #1 I think Meat Moore should be made a province or at least a territory. AP could a Twin Otter do an emergency landing on Meats Moore? |
