Robogate

With all of the discussion concerning robocalls in recent days, some have asked, “Did these robocalls really happen? Was it well-organized and occur on a large scale?”

Here are several parcels of information to help you draw your own conclusions, including articles, audio recordings of a couple of the calls, and letters of complaints to Elections Canada.
