H/T Stephen Taylor for coming up with what may be the source of the 31000 complaints to Elections Canada.
Here is a copy of the complete text that would be sent to (as of Mar 2, 2012):
Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada
William H. Corbett, Commissioner of Elections Canada
Bob Paulson, Commissioner of the RCMP
Nycole Turmel, Leader, New Democratic Party
Bob Rae, Leader, Liberal Party
Louis Plamondon, Parliamentary Leader, Bloc Québécois
Elizabeth May, Leader, Green Party
"
Dear Prime Minister Harper, Mr Corbett,
Mr Paulson, Ms Turmel, Mr Rae, Ms. May and Mr. Plamondon,
I am
gravely concerned by the Elections Canada report that has just traced
illegal phone calls made during the 2011 federal election to a
company that worked for the Conservative Party across the
country.
The “robocalls” were apparently designed to stop
non-Conservative voters from casting ballots in key ridings by
falsely telling voters that the location of their polling stations
had changed, causing them to go to the wrong location on election
day.
This news casts doubt on the legitimacy of our
Government. We need answers now, and real consequences for illegal
behaviour that may have determined the outcome of our election.
I
demand a full and independent public inquiry, backed by Elections
Canada and the RCMP, to expose the facts about the robocall scandal
and ensure that the penalty for this election fraud matches the
consequences of the crime - including new elections.
We cannot
allow individuals to be scapegoated for actions that benefit
institutions. We need to lay the foundation for new laws to restore
the integrity of Canadian elections."
Found at Lead Now.
Once again I'll say it looks like this is a ploy by the disgruntled opposition parties to try and gain a "Mulligan" (do over) because they just can't stand the thought of a Conservative Government.
