Having said that, the opposition party trying to lump things like "they called at dinner time" and "they said Doctor Carolyn Bennet" and "they called on the Sabbath" and "they had a fake accent" as part of some grand conspiracy is idiotic. I'd suggest all parties made calls to people during inconvenient times, and all call centers probably have people with different accents that some idiot thinks is being faked to annoy them.

Agreed, the official sounding "from elections Canada" in french & english calls are much more serious than the "let's make the other parties look bad by calling a 10:00pm" calls.
