Not sure how I am reading all of this, as it is just unfolding, but apparently the Robocalls have been traced back to a computer used by a worker for the Conservative candidate Marty Burke
Quote:
Misleading robocalls originated from the same computer IP address used by a worker on the campaign of Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke, according to new court documents filed by Elections Canada.
Investigator Allan Mathews says in an affidavit that between April 30 and May 2, two unique computer addresses — one that links to a proxy server — were used to access RackNine by Burke’s deputy campaign manager Andrew Prescott and also by the person who paid for misleading robocalls sent to 6,737 Guelph-area numbers on Election Day.

Further down this article is this:
Quote:
The affidavit raised eyebrows around Ottawa Friday when Mathews revealed another Burke campaign worker, Michael Sona, twice discussed using political dirty tricks and was twice “warned off” by national and local party campaign workers.
Matthew McBain, who worked in the party’s campaign headquarters “war room,” said Sona once spoke to him “about a campaign of disinformation such as making a misleading poll moving call.” The affidavit quotes McBain as saying he warned Sona off such conduct “as the party would not stand for it.”

Not to jump to conclusions, but the "smoke" tends to lead towards this Sona character as being a rouge actor perhaps.
Must read more, but
here is the article in question.
