The longer the Liberals stay in power, the more desperate they are to stay in power; and the more treachery they seem to become involved in.
Here’s a news release the National Citizens’ Coalition sent out yesterday, which from what I can tell has not appeared in any mainstream media.
(November 21, 2005) The National Citizens Coalition today denounced the Liberal government’s plans to rush a new gag law through the House of Commons on the eve of an expected federal election.
“The same government which enacted a gag law making it a crime for non-partisan groups to express political opinions during federal elections now wants to take away our right to raise funds during an election,” says NCC vice president Gerry Nicholls. “Not content with just shutting us up and they now want to shut us down.”
The Liberal government is pushing new rules that would place a limit on how much individuals can contribute to non-partisan organizations like the NCC.
“While fighting the original gag law we predicted this would happen,” says Nicholls. “First they limit how much you can speak; now they want to dictate how much money Canadians can contribute to private organizations. What’s next?”
Nicholls says this move reveals how desperate the scandal-ridden Liberal Party has become.
“Prime Minister Paul Martin knows the NCC is an effective voice in exposing the sordid record of his party,” says Nicholls. “So he is using the power of the state to strike back. It’s sad and it’s scary.”
The NCC fought a constitutional campaign against election gag laws for more than 20 years.
