You are correct, that is a disturbing trend.

I am pretty sure the Liberals were never accused of the money laundering scheme that the Tories were accused of.
The interesting thing on the robocall situation is that there are probably only 10 people maximum in the Conservative Party that have access to the CIMS system so that they can actually send out targetted calls on a multi-riding basis. Even within a riding there is probably only 1 or 2 people max that have access to the full system, most volunteers are merely data input people, they cannot go on the system to find out what voter is identified with what party. Party's usually guard that information fairly closely for fear that a mole will steal the information. So if or when this ties back to the Conservatives, it will almost certainly be tied back to fairly senior people in the campaign.
