Hello,

We hope all is well, and thank you for signing Democracy Watch's Stop Secret, Unethical Lobbying petition at:

https://www.change.org/p/stop-foreign-interference-in-canadian-politics.

Because of huge loopholes in Canada’s laws, Elon Musk and multi-millionaire executives of foreign-owned big businesses are allowed to secretly spend unlimited amounts of money, and to secretly fundraise, campaign and lobby, to influence Canadian politicians, parties and elections.

All opposition party leaders have stated that they will force an election with a vote of non-confidence right after Parliament’s scheduled opening on March 24th.  Mark Carney, who seems likely to win the Liberal Party leadership contest and become Prime Minister next week, has suggested he may call a snap election.

There is no good reason for an early election, and it is clearly not in the public interest.  Canada’s fixed election date means the pre-election period would start anyway on July 1st, and the election period in early September.

Protecting Canadian elections from foreign interference is much more important than having an early election!

Your support is needed now to push all federal parties to ensure key changes are made to stop foreign interference before the next federal election!

Please click here now to send your letter to all federal party leaders and Liberal Party leadership contestants calling on them to, before an election happens, close all the loopholes, and strengthen enforcement and penalties, in all the ways needed to actually prevent foreign interference in Canadian elections and politics.

Please also click here now to donate to keep this campaign going until we win key changes to prevent, prohibit and penalize foreign interference.

All together we can have a fair federal election, instead of an unfair foreign interference election.

Thank you, and take care,

Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch
