From the gutter of political life to the sewer

RCMP and Elections Canada contacted after People’s Party EDA threatens to do opposition research on ordinary voter

Riding Association for Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party Threatens Burnaby South Voter on Facebook

A voter in Burnaby says he’s contacted police and filed a formal complaint with Elections Canada after an official Facebook page connected to Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party threatened to dig up dirt about him.
On the final weekend before a high-profile by-election, the official Facebook page for the People’s Party of Canada’s Burnaby South riding association threatened to conduct opposition research into the personal life of an ordinary voter.
In a Facebook Messenger exchange obtained by PressProgress, the PPC page called the voter a “leftist agitator” and accused the Burnaby South voter of spreading “hate and divisiveness against Canadians on our FB page.”
“Interesting FB page by the way,” the PPC page told the voter. “We’ll research it to find out more about you…”
