Conservatives turn the tables on robo-call allegations

The conservatives are defending themselves in the face of the second wave of robo-call allegations. According to The Globe and Mail, the Tories claim that it wasn’t them but the liberal party that placed the annoying and repetitive calls made to liberal voters.

The Tories main line of defense is the connection between the Liberals and a voter-calling company that relays its calls from the United States.

According to the Tories, the Liberals spent a hefty sum on companies that call up voters to get their support. One of the companies is called First Contact. And according to one B.C. Liberal candidate, First Contact has its main call-computer in the United States.

Voters who received the late night calls say a North Dakota number appeared on their caller ID and a conservative MP claims that First Contact has offices in North Dakota. But the vice president of operations at Prime Contact says that they are a Canadian company.
