The revelations over how the federal Tories used a robocalling firm (or firms) to contact voters in possibly 30 or more ridings during last year's election -- misleading them about where polling stations were located -- is just another example of the Harper government's undemocratic tactics. This is on top of their new online surveillance bill that would allow police to access people's private data without a warrant.

And don't forget the police brutality wielded against protesters during the G20 summit in 2010, and twice proroguing parliament in 2008 and 2009 to shut down debate on the Afghan detainee scandal and prevent opposition parties from forming a coalition government.
