Supreme Court being asked to overturn the election results in civil suit by private citizens.

The clearly fraudulent calls have become mixed up with other voter-contact
calls by all political parties, some of which also broke the rules.
Rather than addressing the substance of opposition charges, MP Pierre
Poilievre — the designated Conservative point man fielding robocalls questions
in the House of Commons — tends to deflect and attack back.
It's a tried and true method for defusing controversy, but has the
unfortunate side effect of making the Conservatives appear unconcerned about
real electoral fraud.
Indeed, a Liberal private members' bill to allow the chief electoral officer
to challenge election results and impose tougher fines for offences, was
expected to go down to defeat Wednesday night in the House of Commons.
One indisputable fact stands clear: Some cheater pretending to be Elections
Canada contacted voters in select ridings across Canada on or just before
election day and told them their polling station had changed.
The more the Conservatives avoid the issue and fail to take action the more they appear guilty in the "Court of Public Opinion".
