One vital question has received little attention so far in this election campaign: Whether “voter suppression” has migrated north from the United States.

... Most nonpartisan political observers are appalled by the idea of voter suppression because, if true, it would mean a political party is deliberately undermining the health of the body politic and weakening democracy.

... In all likelihood, no party is engaged in an overt campaign to depress voter turnout. But both the Liberals and the Conservatives may be hoping that, if they can mobilize their vote while discouraging voters who incline to their opponent, that’s not the worst thing in the world.

Call it passive voter suppression -- a very Canadian way to play a nasty game.
