You can make a big difference this week.
Stephen Harper’s new bill is designed to tilt next year’s election in his favour. The UnFair Elections Act specifically targets Canadians who don’t vote Conservative, and makes it harder for them to cast a ballot. It also increases the influence of big money in elections – something the Conservatives rely on to win.
But there is some good news: Stephen Harper is feeling the backlash, and that’s thanks to Canadians like you.
Even loyal defenders of the bill like Conservative Minister Pierre Poilievre are starting to backtrack.
Now is our chance to keep up the pressure and stop this new bill from becoming law.
Join the campaign right now – and help force the Conservatives to back down.
Conservatives are scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to defend this thing. First MP Brad Butt said he saw Canadians engaging in voter fraud by stealing ID cards. Then he was forced to admit that wasn’t even true.
Everyone can see what the Conservatives are up to: stacking the deck to win the next election. But their political spin can’t beat your dedication and energy.
Canadians of all regions, ages and political stripes are uniting behind Tom Mulcair and the NDP to fight this UnFair Elections Act.
Already 15,762 supporters like you have joined the campaign – now we need to double that number. If we’re going to prove to Conservatives that Canadians are united against their new bill, this is a crucial time to act.
Join the campaign right now to keep the pressure on:
