Gerard Kennedy's damning comments on Yanukovych Vote tampering

On CBC AS it Happens there was a report tonight on the first serious allegation of vote tampering in the Ukrainian election.

Kennedy reported on As it Happens that there has already been at least one incident of vote-tampering in the Ukrainian election. Monitors from Canada are in the country overseeing the distribution of ballots to polling stations today.

At one city in the eastern part of the country, a Canadian delegation was threatened with arrest while they were doing their work. Former Liberal Party leadership candidate Gerard Kennedy was part of the group sent by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress to observe the vote. He was reached in Maripol. The interview is available under part 2 here. It starts at about the 10 minute mark. H/T to Willard.

My aunt is out there now on a mission with a church medical charity and I've been a little knotted up hoping all is well.

Saying a prayer for your aunt's safety, as well as for a positive outcome of the elections.
