That's a bit of a stretch. A federal court found that electoral fraud had taken place in 6 out of 308 ridings, and did not affect the outcome of the election in any of those ridings. Meanwhile 12 ridings would have needed to change hands to change the outcome of the election.
If I match-fix a game in a sport championship but I would have won the whole thing anyway because I beat the next opponents, do I get punished or is it fine ?
When a group of politicians ask to be in control of a country and to be trusted with all of its power and responsibilities, and they have proven to be lying and cheating to those they represent, is it ok because the end result wasn't affected ?
I realize the analogies there are not all that good, but honestly whether or not it did have an impact doesn't matter, the fact is that it did happen.
This is false. The Conservatives put a stop to the per-party funding based on votes a long time ago.
> , so any amount of election fraud is essentially stealing funding from another party.
...but this was true when the elections happened. That's extra evil, I hadn't thought of it that way.
And all it took was some country-wide election fraud[1].
