Yeah MarchHare, I agree. The article references other calls. I just find it weird that they are focusing on this call in particular?
There is no indication Rougier was involved in the Poutine scheme, only that Mathews was inquiring why his phone line would be used by someone to place a call to RackNine.
Other calls — from the offices of Conservative MPs Chris Warkentin and Julian Fantino — were made to the same line to record robocalls promoting events or to get out the vote.
The call from Rougier's phone to RackNine is the only one the party has failed to explain in detail to reporters, in spite of repeated requests.
