A Point Worth Noting

Canadians are tuned into this story because they get these types of calls all the time. They understand the issue. Who hasn’t been called at the dinner hour by some type of telemarketer? Even if they weren’t called in the last election the general public can relate to the story, for this reason alone this story is real to Canadians and they are paying attention to it.

I would go even further and say that a fair number of Canadians have had direct contact with the Responsive Marketing Group, one of the phone spammers at the heart of the controversy.  Check out the remarks on them at 800 notes.  Lets just say that they are known and not well loved.

Salute From The Tory Bunker

Got this spam email today, as did Dawg and I'm sure a bunch of others:

In rural southwestern Ontario, I will be voting Conservative again. Canada deserves a leader that can be counted on to make the right decisions for this country. Harper has proven to Canadian voters that his government was the right choice last time and will be this time.

Trapped in a concrete bunker with a bunch of alpha geek Tory lads, I'm sure femaleCONvoter feels like the only woman on a Greek freighter. Hope they've got lots of those tablets they give the men on submarines.

Update: From the comments it looks like we're up to at least four or five other blogs.
