Call me a partisan (although I don't think that the shoe fits here), but representing yourself as Elections Canada and phoning people to misdirect them for voting seems a little more serious? Not sure why that distinction seems hard to fathom for CPC supporters.

It is a bit more serious, but not by a large margin.
Both are tampering with the way an election is supposed to work. The big difference is, someone destroying election material (a sign, pamphlet etc) for another candidate is almost certainly not working as part of a large group of people attempting to subvert the proper election process.
The fact is,if the earlier post in this thread that indicated so is correct, there did not appear to be any impact from the robocalled. Similarly, there was probably a negligible impact from random candidate tearing up X pieces of campaign literature.
Doesn't excuse either though.
For me, there is almost zero chance that 'dirty politics' or scandals of any type will impact the way I vote. In the end, all politicians are the really the same.
