Vote Tomorrow — But Know Where You’re Going
May 1st, 2011
I had a robo call from the Conservative party reminding me to vote in my riding of Sydney-Victoria. I live in South Shore-St. Margarets, a swing riding where the Conservative incumbent is in trouble. Innocent mistake? Incompetence? Intention to confuse?
You can judge as well as I can, but Elections Canada says there are quite a number of ridings around the country where people are being given false information about where to vote. So double-check before you go. Elections Canada will tell you where to go.
And shame on whoever is responsible for spreading the misinformation.

Once is accident, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.

Well the CBC page would seem to suggest there were at least three incidents.

Here’s a blogger in Guelph who received such a call and is hoping to have it traced. He says there have been other dirty tricks in the area:

Yes, actually I just saw that too! See today’s post, where I am trying to get a list together of all the allegations. It is important that this be investigated properly.
