Canadian Democracy Survives Cinnamon-Bun Scandal

 Lowering the Bar - The second-place candidate … alleges that the victor … breached the Local Government Act through vote buying and voter intimidation, and seeks an order requring a fresh election….I find that, absent special circumstances, no reasonable voter would be induced to vote differently by the mere provision of a cup of [coffee] or a cinnamon bun. Michetti v. Veach, 2023 BCSC 43 (Jan. 10, 2023).

Did they use real cinnamon to make these buns? If so, maybe the loser can get a reconsideration, especially if they are the ones you can get at IKEA.
