Behind the Robocall movement.

I think the most disturbing aspects of this article at Canoe News are 1. “organized by some of last fall's Occupy Ottawa ringleaders” and 2. “Neither Elections Canada nor the RCMP could say whether they'd received any of the online petitions.”

Now I can attribute the second aspect to the fact that it is an ongoing investigation and protocol more than likely dictates this, even though I don't see a conflict with admitting where you are getting you information (especially if the information could be deemed inflammatory, incomplete, or even incorrect. Ie: from a site like Leadnow.ca which has been actively soliciting complaints.)

I attribute the first to the nature of the robocall scandal itself. The disenfranchised Left which seems unable to concede that the Conservatives have a Majority Government. Of course they are being spurred on by the fact that the Tories are trying to achieve their goals in the House of Commons, and have cut debate at times (to prevent the never ending repetition of the Opposition.)

I was once again surprised at a Globe and Mail piece that points out the ridiculousness of the Faux robo-call scandal. Margaret Went's editors must be seething to run “Robo-calls? Get a grip. We'reCanadian”.
