I'm wondering how this can be viewed as internet voting at all. If 
this requires special hardware, how is that going to work? Are people 
talking at cross purposes? Is it really a network of voting machines 
in voting stations, a la the Diebold type, or are they really going 
to allow online voting from home/office/library etc? What what about 
those voters who don't have access in any of those places? Will they 
be exempted from compulsory voting?

Does anyone have any real knowledge about what is going on in our 
neighbour to the north? Does the government or electoral commission? 
One would hope so!
