Moore could have been arrested in his beloved Canada because while promoting his movie in Toronto in June 2004, he urged Canadians to vote against the conservative candidate for Prime Minister. It is a crime in Canada for foreigners to “during an election period, in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting…for a particular candidate.

Is that true?

If so, then it appears as if your elections laws are even more onerous than those of the United States

Even after that unconstitutional desecration, the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act, was signed into law.

Of course the law would never be enforced when the comment is against a conservative.
