Robocalls: Guilty or Innocent?
Guelph Tory campaign worker tweeted robocall alert two days before vote
"On the day “Pierre Poutine” activated the burner cellphone used to launch his robocall blitz on voters in Guelph, a young Conservative campaign worker sent out a message on Twitter warning of “voter suppression calls” aimed at his party (Emphasis mine).As for me, I'm becoming more and more convinced that some group such as Anonymous is behind this. Whoever it is, they are tech savvy supremo. And once again, lawyers are getting rich as lawsuits are being lobbed from several quarters (see tech savvy supremo link).
Andrew Prescott, deputy campaign manager to Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke, tweeted on April 30, “Anti-#CPC voter suppression phone calls currently underway in Guelph, suspecting #LPC #elxn41” — referencing the Twitter shorthand for the Liberal Party of Canada and the 41st general election.
Prescott, a self-described cellphone expert, followed up a few minutes later with another tweet claiming that these phone calls were “using spoofed Caller-ID of Burke campaign. I ‘wonder’ who it could be ...”"

You must know, we're not supposed to have "American style" politics up here. We're better than that!/sarc
Yeah, "American-like", or "American-style", the worst Canadian pejorative.
We Yanks are going to have to get even, by instituting the political pejorative "Quebec-style". It will encompass corrupt political bosses (e.g. Duplessis through Chretien); corrupt political machines (e.g. the old Quebec liberal machine, the old Quebec PQ machine); whining victimist electorates with an indignant hand always held out for more money from their oppressors (e.g. les Quebecois and their love addiction to federal danegeld).
Why pick on just Quebec? Anti-Americanism is alive and well and living in the dark hearts of all our leftards - coast to coast to coast.
