Perhaps Cannon thinks Canadians who are afraid of Khadr have nowhere else to go on voting day. Perhaps he thinks there’s no cost to undoing the Conservative reputation for law and order, principled foreign policy and vigilance against terrorism.
I doubt any passionate anti-Khadr voters would vote Liberal, although to their credit when the Liberals were in power from 2002 to 2006, they were firmly against bringing Khadr back.
More likely is that thousands of Conservative voters will just stay home — not donate, not volunteer, not put up a lawn sign, not even vote.
