Robocall Allegations in Provincial Election

Some of the alleged dirty tricks featuring automated calling machines used in the federal election are said to have surfaced in the campaign for last October's provincial election.

 The Ontario Liberals, who were reduced to a minority government, say they were targeted in several ridings with so-called robocalls to voters.

Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak said his party had not heard any complaints targeting Tory candidates, nor did they engage in any of the dirty tricks.

Elections Ontario refuses to say if there were any complaints filed about dirty tricks during the campaign.
