Let's just acknowledge from the beginning that this page has the potential to raise a lot of controversy. However, let's be mature and make this page accurate and complete; the "bill proposals" section is exactly what the government is proposing to do. Criticism and support should be directed to their appropriate sections of the page. JOttawa16 ( talk) 14:48, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
There have clearly been attempts by the Conservative Party of Canada to alter this text. The criticisms are not indicated clearly, and the most partisan talking lines were repeated with a 'some say that...' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.144.102.64 ( talk) 00:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
jottawa16 is clearly filling it with POV. Also, there is false information. There is one academic supporter of the bill cited works for the business school at Carleton; he does not teach public policy. Also, there is no mention of the 160 political scientists who signed an open letter against. The manner in which the information is presented follows closely the Conservative party line, which makes me suspect that JOttawa16 is an agent of the party. I will not get into an edit war, but this article should be flagged for serious revision. 184.144.102.64 ( talk) 20:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
The guy, lee, teaches management. It says he studied public policy in the 80s. 66.78.101.2 ( talk) 10:21, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
The criticism of Mayrand was a conservative smear, dreamt up posthoc to demonize anyone critical of the bill. The use of the passive voice in this article suggests that Mayrand faced general criticism, when in fact this is a strategy of the conservative party. So this is POV hiding as fact. Better write who made that criticism. (you might also note that sun news first tried to pretend that Sheila Fraser had received 400000$, but gave up on that line when it transpired that she had been paid something like 2000$ for some work. 75.98.19.140 ( talk) 10:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC) 'come under scrutiny' is still a smear, because it makes it sound lke tree s a real controversy involved. 75.98.19.140 ( talk) 23:28, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
I have nominated this article to be check for POV because the author has written attack pages on the Liberal Party of Canada in the past, and there are passages that concern me in this article. Specifically, I would like input on the paragraph that identifies "loans" (with scare quotes) that the Liberal Party accepted. This seems like a further attack on the Liberal Party, but I may be reading too much into it. Someone more knowledgeable than me about Canadian politics would need to look over the coverage to see if it's truly balanced. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 08:17, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
The section outlining the bill does not contain all the information (ie nothing about poll clerks), and really reads like a pro-Bill statement written by the Conservative Party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.142.63.46 ( talk) 14:22, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
