worker was encouraging people to vote Conservative

I’d like to say that I’m surprised. But I’m not.

Is this not something that you’d go to jail for? Election interference, especially when you’re working for Elections Canada, seems pretty serious.

Nadeem Mahmoud, the spokesperson for Ahmed’s campaign, said multiple people reached out to their office, saying a woman wearing an Elections Canada badge was approaching people lined up to vote at the Teston Village Public School in Vaughan, and encouraging them to vote Conservative in the federal election.

The woman was speaking to people in English but also in Urdu, Mahmoud said.

“This is something which is not supposed to happen. It’s a breach of protocol,” he said.

Brazen breach of protocol by someone who apparently wasn’t a wee bit worried about getting caught. Someone should ask Pierre Poutine what he has to say about it, but conservatives are in the “we’re not letting him talk anymore” stage of the campaign.
