As for the Conservatives and your assertion that "There is absolutely no evidence at all that the Conservatives were behind it..." that is just ridiculous. The CPC hasn't come right out and said they it was the party itself, but party people have resigned and made mention that when said people resigned it was due to their involvement in this whole robo-call thing. In that case its either that the Conservatives are resigning just to be safe, or they're actually implicated.
Um, my comment was directly related to the article and comment I was quoting - which was to do with the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands in the 2006 election. In that case, in that article, there is nothing to indicate the Conservative had anything to do with robo-calling and increasing the NDP vote - which is what Elizabeth May is now suggesting, some 6 years later.

As for your first few sentences, I'm pretty sure there is an investigation on-going by both the RCMP and Elections Canada. Again, my "sore loser" comments were actually in reference to the article and previous comment that I had quoted about 2006, not the current robo-calling issues. My stance on that has been consistent in every single post in this thread - those responsible need to be hunted down and punished to the full extent of the law.
