The voting amendments come as the Trudeau government has lost favor with Canadians as recent polling projects a massive Conservative victory in the next election.
(LifeSiteNews) — The Trudeau government is moving to lengthen the voting period and increase mail-in ballot use ahead of the 2025 federal election.
In a joint effort, Dominic LeBlanc, the Liberal Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs minister, and New Democratic Party (NDP) MP Daniel Blaikie, are working to change the laws surrounding Canada’s voting system in anticipation of the next federal election, which by law has to occur by 2025.
“Issues around democracy and the integrity of elections have been a hot topic in this Parliament for some very good reasons,” Blaikie said in a January 27 interview with CTV News.
