Harper distances his party from robocall scandal

Prime Minister Stephen Harper denied that robocalls were a fixture in the Conservative party’s election campaign.

According to the Montreal Gazette Harper said he was unaware harassing and misleading phone calls were being made by opposition party imposters in last year’s campaign.

Fraudulent phone calls harassing voters and misleading them to non-existent polling stations were linked to RackNine Inc. and Responsive Marketing Group.

Both companies were used by Conservative party members.

Harper said his party gave any information they had to authorities and that it was now up to the opposition to back their widespread political conspiracy claims.
