Default Election's Canada investigating "Robocall" Guelph Riding (and other ridings).

I haven't seen this being discussed on the forum yet, if it is already being discussed mods please remove. But it looks like the Ottawa Citizen revealed late last week that Elections Canada has been looking into accusations of Election Fraud and voter suppression towards the Federal Conservatives in the riding of Guelph.

The issues seams to be picking up a lot of steam with accusations of more that 40 other ridings that were hit with similar "robocalls" and voter suppression tactics during the last election.

Globe and Mail:

One Conservative staffer has already been fired in response.

Anyways, if any of these allegations are true, regardless of party lines, this is pretty depressing news for Canada and the electoral system.
