Liberal Leader Mark Carney says he has a solution to Canada’s democracy crisis: a process known as “electoral easing” that involves purchasing additional ballots from Elections Canada, pushing up their prices and lowering their yields. Doing so, he argues, will increase the supply of democracy in the electoral system and spur voters to show up to the polls and cast ballots.

“Our turnout rates continue to stagnate, and we need to stimulate the electorate,” he said at a campaign stop on Tuesday. “This is a responsible, calculated measure that will get democracy moving again while keeping vote inflation under control.”

Other parties didn’t hesitate to condemn the move as election interference, asking where the ballots would be stored and who would fill them out.

Carney promised all that information would be disclosed within 120 days.
