The Toronto Star reports that legal action has been taken by the Council of Canadians in seven ridings Canada-wide; including Toronto Don Valley East. We can add these to the private action being taken Borys Wresznewskyj in Etobicoke Centre.
This creates an interesting development. Should the courts rule in favour of Borys W. and the Council of Canadians, we will potentially see wide-spread by-elections across this country. However, should the courts rule against the plaintiffs it could set precedent that makes it impossible for Elections Canada to correct the matter of Canadians' infringement of democracy. We can call this the "all the eggs in one basket" clause.
I look forward to the results, and surely will have more on this in the future.
