...is what I was thinking when I read
this requiem for the Tory's veiled voter legislation. The fact is, when this story first broke, all of Canada was headed for a six day bender of capital "X" xenophobia. Then, in a
terrific series of posts back in 2007 that seem to have entirely disappeared,
Red Tory did what, apparently, no-one else in Canada, and certainly no-one else in the MSM or HOC, had done--which was read the recently passed changes to the Elections Act and point out that they did NOT require that voters provide photo ID, something that (for example)
Canwest News had not figured out at the time (and still seems
a bit confused about).
Afterwards, the fake outrage died off relatively quickly.
The kind of story to mention when someone tells you we need the MSM for their standards.
My origonal take on the controversy
here.
