At some point it really becomes irrelevant.

I agree that there are various levels of seriousness in regards to all the Robocall claims that are surfacing. The voter suppression calls are clearly the most important and then there are various levels of issues with the other Robocalls.
But any allegation of impersonating members from a campaign and purposely making targeted calls to irritate campaign's voters or supporter is a serious claim that should also be investigated. Let's say for what ever reason the issues in Guelph are unrelated to the other Robocall allegation, I personally don't think those should be ignored. In the end it only goes to further belittle the whole campaign process.
