Canadian conservatives try to win blind voters with -picture- of Braille
Source: Toronto Star
The federal Conservatives have run into a bit of an obstacle in their bid to tell blind Canadians how much they’re doing for them.
They have mass-mailed a flyer with wording that only looks like Braille — without the raised, tactile lettering that blind people need in order to read.
“Supporting Jobs for All Canadians,” reads the slogan on the flyer, the words duly rendered below in a series of Braille dots. But any blind person who touches the dots would find only a flat surface — unreadable letters, then, for many of the roughly 280,000 people in Canada who are visually impaired.
... No one at Conservative headquarters replied to questions on Friday about how the party ended up putting fake Braille on the flyers or about how many Canadian households would have received them.

the perfect example of the competence of the Harper government in a nutshell.
I would go 
but for this government it is simply SNAFU as usual.
