Hey there. Do you have concerns about the recent election in Canada? You're not alone.
00:00:04.640
A petition has been started demanding an independent investigation, especially into
00:00:08.780
concerns around voter fraud. It's just shy of 10,000 signatures. Let's take a look at that.
00:00:13.740
The petition is titled, Call to Investigate Irregularities in the 2025 Canadian Federal
00:00:17.940
Election. The petition starts, We the concerned citizens of Canada believe that recent irregularities
00:00:23.020
and credible allegations of misconduct during the 2025 federal election undermine the integrity of
00:00:28.240
democratic process. We call about the House of Commons to immediately launch an independent
00:00:33.880
public inquiry into the administration of the election. Investigate all reports of voter
00:00:37.760
suppression, misinformation, fraud, and other violations of the Canada Elections Act. Improve
00:00:43.460
the transparency and oversight of Elections Canada. Introduce stronger legislative safeguards to
00:00:48.480
protect the fairness of future elections. Mandate transparent reporting of investigations related
00:00:53.680
to electoral integrity with results made public. Require third-party audits of election results in
00:00:59.100
any ridings where irregularities or unethical conduct are alleged. Establish a permanent non-partisan
00:01:05.000
election oversight committee accountable to Parliament to provide regular reviews and safeguards
00:01:09.420
for federal elections. Commit to reviewing and updating the Canada Elections Act to close any
00:01:14.400
loopholes that allow foreign or unethical interference in campaigns or voting processes. Review and clarify the
00:01:20.340
Canada Elections Act and related legislation to ensure that voting rights in federal elections are
00:01:24.840
extended exclusively to Canadian citizens as currently stipulated and that this provision is upheld with
00:01:30.100
consistency and transparency. Consider legislative amendments that would introduce additional
00:01:34.380
eligibility criteria for newly naturalized citizens, such as a minimum period of residency,
00:01:39.840
post-citizenship before being eligible to vote in federal elections, with the aim of reinforcing
00:01:44.580
national cohesion, civic understanding, and informed participation. We believe Canadians deserve to have
00:01:50.120
full trust in their electoral system. Democracy must be protected and every vote must count, free from
00:01:55.620
manipulation, coercion, or fraud. Personally, I think this is a great idea and I believe that we do
00:02:01.360
need to have an independent investigation of the recent election. Like I've said in previous videos,
00:02:05.840
the system not only needs to work, but people need to trust the system. It has to have the appearance
00:02:10.720
of being trustworthy. Now this could go either way. We could either investigate, find out there was
00:02:15.660
election fraud and hold those responsible to account. It could also play out that there was no fraud or the
00:02:21.360
fraud was very minimal. But then in that case, it'll at least quell people's concerns that the election was
00:02:26.400
somehow unfair or rigged. It's a win-win either way. Now I want to point out there have been credible reports about
00:02:32.100
serious flaws in the recent election. This includes reports that Canadians in the North that wanted to vote
00:02:37.720
weren't able to do so. This also includes reports that poll workers were acting inappropriately and in some cases
00:02:44.020
leaving the stations with ballot boxes. I'll show you a video from CBC here.
00:02:48.360
Elia Lauzon doesn't trust the government or the electoral system, but she still turned up yesterday
00:02:54.100
in Pavernatuk to have her say. But I do know it's the smallest right that I have offered to me and fought
00:03:00.200
for me by other Indigenous activists over the course of decades. Only to show up to see polling station
00:03:06.740
staff closing up at 2.30pm, seven hours before they were supposed to. CBC has heard from residents
00:03:13.840
in four other villages who say polling stations closed early afternoon. Elections Canada says
00:03:19.360
weather prevented access to some communities and they struggled to recruit local teams.
00:03:24.120
Now because this video is coming from CBC, it's likely that this is just the tip of the iceberg
00:03:28.800
and there's a lot of other stuff that we simply don't know about. I also want to point out that
00:03:32.960
at this time there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud and there's no evidence that the election
00:03:37.520
was swayed one way or another. However, an investigation can't hurt and I think it's the
00:03:42.540
least that Canadians can ask for. If you're interested in signing this petition, I've attached the link in
00:03:46.660
