We got the idea the last time we told you to stop

It may be time to check whether the Libs are suffering a case of collective amnesia. Yesterday, it was Paul Szabo who was completely unaware that his party had heard and ignored the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's concerns about the Cons' Canada Elections Act changes. And today, Marlene Jennings looks to have gone Szabo one better by trying to claim a practice which the Libs shut down in 2006 as a bright idea of their own:
(O)nto students. Again. What about polling stations *inside* the university residences and buildings, staffed by students? Actually, that’s an interesting idea - and apparently, it comes from Jennings’ parliamentary intern, who is either not here, or cool enough not to blush violently at the shoutout.
Which sounds like an absolute slam dunk of a suggestion. After all, what kind of anti-democratic party could possibly be opposed to the idea of making voting more convenient for students?
