Michael Moore might be in trouble in America for violating the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance rules. Fahrenheit 9/11, a movie lambasting President George W. Bush for the decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, comes awfully close to being a political advertisement. The message? Don't vote for Bush. That's what David T. Hardy, coauthor of Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, thinks. He says McCain-Feingold is a "weird law" that would apply to the advertising for Moore's recent flick.
And now, a new website is claiming Moore is also in breach of an election law north of the border. When Moore waddled into Canada's June 28 federal election with exhortations to vote for someone other than Conservative party candidate Stephen Harper, he may have broken the law.

Chargemoore.com, a Canadian website petitioning Canada's election officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley to charge Moore, claims that when Moore said things such as: "You've got four days after it [Fahrenheit 9/11] opens to get people out to the polls to make sure that Mr. Harper does not become your next prime minister," he violated Canada's law.

"Michael Moore is a loudmouth who has done a good job of annoying Americans," says Kasra Nejatian, a Queen's University business student and founder of the website. "The problem is that he usually only annoys people, this time he broke our laws. Not only is he a loudmouth, he is a loudmouth foreigner who breaks our laws."

Nejatian is quite serious about having Moore charged. To that end, he's retained the services of Jonathan Denis, a Calgary, Alberta lawyer, as legal counsel. Denis explains that Moore may have violated Section 331 of the Canada Elections Act. The Section reads: "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) a Canadian citizen; or (b) a permanent resident."

Denis thinks the violation is pretty obvious.

Canadians are not supposed to vote in the presidental election of USA so why should they care? Bush isn't running for president in Canada, not to my knowlege.

By the way, both links are dead.

If you read the post above you will see that he was also making comments on the Canadian elections. I have no idea what the Canadian election laws are, so I don't know if he broke any laws there.

Oh, and I love DBGs posts. They are all the same, I don't have to read them anymore. Any time anyone says anything counter to his own thinking it is the Neo-Cons trying to subvert the Constitution. No substance, no insight, no rational or intellectual thought. Just the neo-cons are coming, run for your lives. Great job. BTW, Moore's movie is not 100% truth, it is propaganda. Idiots and fanatics tout it as 100% truth, rational people can admit that it's propaganda.

Background on David T. Hardy: Gun nut who has had it in for MM because of Mike's pro-gun-control position. Old enemy, you might say, prone to saying a lot of things that ain't so, especially when it comes to MM.

It was a question not a statement dude. Take your neds and lighten up. No one is taking you seriously anymore because everything is a neo-con conspiracey.

The guys background was clear but that hardly answers the question. Did he violate the law.

Prohibition -- inducements by non-residents


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

(a) a Canadian citizen; or

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

2000, c. 9, s. 331; 2001, c. 27, s. 211.

It looks like the law says the same thing even if he is a right wing Gun guy.

So...Anyone ???

p.s. DBG why don't you investigate why my links always go bad in less than 24hours. That sounds like a conspiracy to me.
