Funny:
Michael Moore (noun): An American Jackass who likes to meddle in other countries' affairs; someone who violates other nations' laws in order to promote his double-speak; a phony.
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.
We are asking Jean-Pierre Kingsley -- CHARGE MOORE!
Stuff the loudmouth -- CHARGE MOORE!
Protect our sovereignty from an ugly invader -- CHARGE MOORE!
Join us by signing our petition and help us -- CHARGE MOORE!

Ummm ... why we have a law that disallows anyone to try to influence our election campaign is beyond me. But based on that, Nader should also be charged for vocally endorsing the NDP. Bizarre stuff.
