Canada Pushing Belarus “Election Fraud” Hoax, Making Demands

Now is the time for the democracy people of the world to rally around the people of Belarus.

The world is watching.

Canada will not be silent in the face of this threat to democracy values.

RCI:

Canada does not accept the results of the Aug. 9 “fraudulent” presidential election in Belarus and calls for “free and fair elections,” Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Monday as tens of thousands of Belarusians marched to demand the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko.

A sea of peaceful protesters flooded the streets of Belarusian capital Minsk on Monday for the ninth straight day of protests, despite an earlier brutal crackdown by police and security forces that saw thousands of people detained and police using rubber bullets, tear gas and concussion grenades to disperse crowds.

“Canada joins its partners in the international community in condemnation of the crackdown on peaceful protesters following the presidential election in Belarus,” Champagne said.

“We do not accept the results of this fraudulent presidential election in Belarus and call for free and fair elections.”

Champagne said Canada is also calling for a thorough investigation of events surrounding the disputed election and the police crackdown to be conducted through the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

Look, we’ve already written about this.

The claim that you can commit election fraud to the point of getting 84% of the vote is stupid on the face of it. No normal thinking person believes this is possible.

This Belarus hoax is just another hoax in a long line of increasingly stupid hoaxes.
