Dear Elections Canada

lightcastleI am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding actions undertaken by Stephen Harper, leader of the Conservative party.
During an interview with Bill Good on CKNW in Vancouver, after the start of the media blackout required by Canadian law, Stephen Harper knowingly contravened the Elections Canada Act (Communications – Offences under Part 16) by stating that "It is certain that I will vote, and I encourage all other people to vote, and I encourage people to do the same as me and vote Conservative."
Given that the Elections Canada act clearly forbids this, I am formally requesting that the appropriate actions be taken towards the offender.
"conducting election advertising during blackout period (knowingly) – subsection 323(1)"
I look forward to your response in this matter.
Sincerely,
Light Castle
