Robocalls

I am frustrated by the absence of any action or communication from Elections Canada as they investigate the automated phone calls that, in the last election, directed voters to the wrong address. The evidence to date points to someone or some persons within the Conservative Party.

Robocalls were recently used to find critics of a redistricting plan in Saskatchewan. The Conservative Party denied any responsibility for the calls, then admitted responsibility.

What to say about these two incidents? Ian Fleming said it best in his novel Goldfinger: "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, it's enemy action."
