Robocall scandal spreads into Ottawa-Orléans vision@eap.on.ca Orléans
at the time condemning the incidents. The pattern of the phone calls seems to match the growing robocall campaign scandal that is now tainting the Conservative majority election win. The Bertschi campaign reported to Elections Canada three dozen complaints from Liberal supporters about phone calls, some automated and others with a live speaker. Jim Watson. “Smoking-related illnesses continue to strain our health-care system and it is important that we renewour efforts to reduce smoking rates.” The expanded public smoking ban follows a report requested from the city’s BoardofHealthlastSeptemberforanupdate on municipal smoke-free regulations. The public health office did a three-month pu- blic consultation of residents and the business sector. The results indicated pu- blicsupportforexpandingtheanti-smoking policy. The city will launch a public awareness and warning campaign in April on the expanded smoking ban. Enforcement will begin in July.
But the final announcement of Galipeau’s victory did not come until late into the election night tallying of votes. Now details are surfacing of an official complaint filed to Elections Canada in April, two weeks before the election final polling day, of harassing and misleading calls to Liberal supporters. The Bertschi campaign office also issued a press release encouraging a reduction in smoking rates among its residents. The existing anti-smo- king regulations dealing with restaurants, bars, municipal buildings, and other pu- blic places will expand this year to cover all municipal sites as well as outdoor restau- rant patio sites. “These steps will help protect residents, families, and children from second-hand smoke, while at the same timemake Ottawa aleaderinsmoke-freespaces,”statedMayor Concession 10 in Plantagenet, in an area that was part of the former North Plantagenet Township area. The site covered under the request includes parts of lot 9 and lot 10, Conces- sion 9. The land is zoned Agricultural. The owner wants part of the two lots rezoned Mineral Aggregate Resource to allow operation of a sand pit. A presentation on the request was made during the public hearing. There were no objections or questions heard about the rezoning demand or the planned use for the site. The request was tabled for a 20-day period to allow for public response. No objections were filed during the response period so council approved a lo- cal bylaw supporting the rezoning request. The matter is now referred to the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) for final review and approval. The UCPR oversees the Official Plan for land use in the entire Prescott-Russell region.
The automated, or robocalls, were identified as from the 701 area code in North Dakota. This matches the profile of the current robocall scandal about alleged Conservative partisan interference with the federal election. The live callers who phoned Liberal supporters in Ottawa-Orléans are alleged to have identified themselves as either representatives for the Liberal Party of Ca- nadaorasElectionsCanadaofficials.Those claiming to represent the party then told the people they called not to vote for Bertschi. Those callers claiming to be with Elections Canada told voters their polling station location was changed and gave them directions to another site which later proved incorrect. In some cases the false polling station location was 30 minutes away from the actual site. Bertschi has condemned the situation, saying that it taints any riding election result where it occurs. Galipeau has stated that none of his campaign workers would have taken part in such behaviour. He also expressed doubt that any such fraudulent calls were received in the riding prior to last year’s federal election.
One of the tight-race ridings in the last federal election is now the focus of the robocall scandal spotlight. Conservative incumbent Royal Galipeau retained his hold on the Ottawa- Orléans riding in the 2011 spring election against Liberal challenger David Bertschi.
