Elections Canada to charge Moore
by Justin Boudreau, Managing Editor, Canadafreepress.com

Elections Canada will lay charges against shockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore.

Officially, Elections Canada will neither confirm nor deny plans to lay formal charges against Moore. However, Canadafreepress.com has learned through sources that charges are imminent and expected by the end of next week.

The anti-Bush Moore, who often lets his mouth get ahead of him, may think he got away with the boner of the Canadian release of Fahrenheit 9/11 just days ahead of the June 28 federal election, but there is the little matter of election law infringement.

Moore’s pre-election advice lecturing Canadian voters not to vote Conservative quickly enraged a number of Conservative Party supporters who launched the website: www.chargeMoore.com in an effort to encourage Elections Canada to uphold its own law.

Moore’s tactics encompass what legal
Moore’s tactics encompass what legal beagles believe is a direct violation of Canada electoral law. Under the "Non-Interference by Foreigners" clause (Part 11, Division 9, section 331) of the Canadian Elections Act:

No person who does not reside in Canada shall, during an election period, in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate unless the person is

a Canadian citizen; or

a permanent resident within the meaning of subsection 2 (1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

As far as the letter of the law is concerned "I love Canada," as Moore has stated, does not count.

Penalties under the Canada Elections Act for such violations are a $2,000 fine--or a jail term of six months less a day. Kasra Nejatian, spokesperson for chargeMoore.com and his lawyers aren’t interested in the fines. "They (the fines) can be higher, but we aren’t interested in that. What we want is the jail time," Nejatian told Canadafreepress.com.

Once charges are laid, the small force behind chargeMoore.com is confident that they will be successful. "It (the Act) is fairly clear here. He has no wiggle room."

Nejatian, however is being realistic. While he doesn’t expect Pooh-Bah Moore to spend a single night in the slammer, he is anticipating that such a charge would all but bar the Michigan-native film maker from ever entering Canada again, a point he sees as a bonus as bright as any star.

Encouraged by the amount of public support his online petition has found, Nejatian says he’s hoping that even more Canadians will log on at www.chargeMoore .com to sign up.

"There’s no excuse for a foreign socialist millionaire to show up in our country and try to spread his propaganda," he said.

Mr. Jean-Pierre Kingsley
Chief Election Officer
Elections Canada
257 Slater Street
OTTAWA, ON K1A 0M6

Dear Sir:

According to a national media report this past weekend, I understand you have received a complaint about comments made by American film director Michael Moore which claims he violated the Canada Elections Act.

While we do not have equality with the value of our dollar with the United States we certainly have equality with the right wing and their stupidity. It was always amazing to me that a group of individuals who promoted and believed in free trade do not believe in the freedom of ideas and political opinion.

If it will assist in your review of this matter I am willing to declare Michael Moore a citizen of Sarnia, Ontario therefore making him a de-facto Canadian. Making him a honourary Canadian will give him the right to whine, !!!!!, moan, complain about taxation and the high level of taxes and then move forward and pay his tax bill and vote for the government in power.

It is my hope that Mr. Moore, who has frequented Sarnia in the past, will accept this distinguished honour.

Perhaps I should paraphrase the words of John F. Kennedy…..All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Sarnia, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Sarnian.

Cont’d……Page 2

While Sarnia does not have a Berlin wall we do have a sound barrier on the highway which will be an excellent substitute.

Mr. Moore featured Sarnia in his Academy award winning documentary “Bowling for Columbine” which, by the way, is now available on DVD. This is not a cheap ploy to extend our 15 minutes of fame. We only received 4½ minutes and this is simply trying to get it up to 10 minutes.

In conclusion I also want to state to you that this is non-partisan. I do not belong to an organized political party—I am a Federal Liberal.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Bradley
Mayor of Sarnia

maybe six months of bubba doing pushups on his fat arse would straighten the pecker head out a bit.

Rufus Rhastus J · 07-16-2004, 11:03 AM

Well, one thing's for sure.....no ky needed! Moore's got enough grease on him to last years! What a scum bag! But, he's got more money than me. Guess it pays to be a vile dirt bag and a lier.

colt45 · 07-16-2004, 11:06 AM

sure just ask your budy K.

Rufus Rhastus J · 07-16-2004, 11:31 AM

I admit, I foolishly thought he was going to be good for the forum but, come on, please....he's not my favorite person.

spunkski · 07-16-2004, 02:56 PM

so rufus if someone doesn't agree with you. they are evil?? what if they agree with some thoughts but not others. are they half evil??

JAMES · 07-16-2004, 03:13 PM

Affirmative.....Moore is full evil, not half evil........what the heck does this have to do with brother Rufus....?

spunkski · 07-16-2004, 04:12 PM

Have you seen the movie? if not, anything you say about Moore is not your opinion, it is someone elses. correct? brother rufus seems kinda weird

Shaun · 07-16-2004, 04:20 PM

Don't have to see the movie to know about all the anti american propaganda he puts out calling it the truth

dhermesc · 07-16-2004, 04:20 PM

Careful who you call brother, they might take serious offense with your familiarity. Personally if I had a brother like you I'd kick his @$$ and tell him to quit telling people he was related to me.

spunkski · 07-16-2004, 05:14 PM

lol that was funny. Its like having a sister named Bertha.

spunkski · 07-16-2004, 05:18 PM

if you don't see the movie, how do you know it is anti-american prop?? are you relying on other peoples opinions?

Shaun · 07-16-2004, 05:20 PM

because he tells you it is read any of his statements to the press

spunkski · 07-16-2004, 06:09 PM

I don't care for bush or most of his policies, but I try to read a variety of sorces right wing and left wing to form my own opinion on a subject. I look at all souces as trying to spin it in their vision or purpose I am the pic next to the word cynic in the dict. and i see no reason to be in iraq.

All of this stuff is free publicity for Michael Moore. He's laughing all the way to the bank.
I have not seen the movie and therefore have no opinion on it. Spunkski is right, it costs eight bucks to talk about the movie. Anything else is being a Lemming or is it Sheeple?
