That's a smoking gun for sure.
I'd think there is at least a decent chance that RMG made calls into the riding as part of a national campaign strategy. Further, I'd bet that the Liberals and NDP had similar campaigns, with similar funds being charged to local ridings, and that there are probably people involved in those campaigns that aren't sure if they got their monies worth, especially if they didn't win said election.
Someone once said "make a complaint to Elections Canada then, see what they do with it". I assume you have done so?

I am not sure how closely you follow politics, but the allegations in that article are the money laundering scheme all over again, if they are true they are illegal and those that committed them face jail time. I am pretty sure the candidate and the official agent might know what was going on. I hope Elections Canada gets the phone records from the Tories (at this time Harper is refusing to release these records) because if a single call was made into a riding other than that riding that paid for the calls that would be a criminal violation of the Elections Act. It would be nice if Steve would be more forthcoming, it is time for Canadians to Demand Better.
