Doesn’t violate the CASL legislation that the conservatives themselves signed into law technically but it certainly breaks the spirit of it.

Just go away! You'll find out if you have my support on election day.

Everyone that gets a text should call Cory Hann. Perhaps if he gets spammed with calls, he will get a clue.

If any party sent me a text like that I would probably vote for the other party.

My father received one the other day about support or disapproval for carbon tax.

Mindless bots favoring the conservative party in the comment section, no surprise there. Foreign intervention has begun

Given how unpopular Trudeau is in much of Canada, there shouldn't be a need for robotexts. Unfortunately, Scheer is Trudeau 2.0 and shares his platform. Vote for Maxime Bernier and the People's Party of Canada. Only the PPC represents real change as per www.compareppc.ca

CBC shilling hard already and it's only July

They're currently doing robocalls with AI. If you sign up yes they we'll start calling you with these AI Bots.

The thing is the numbers that texting gets the Conservatives in the way of support could change by election time. It's another poll. Polls don't add up to results quite often. That's my view. I don't care if I get a text. I'll text them back that I'm voting for Maxime Bernier and the People's Party of Canada and thank you for the text.

I don't care for Scheer but I want Trudeau gone too much to care

[darwinaward]

Doesn’t bother me one bit. Vote conservative and take back our country this October.

Do a Bolsonaro and ignore Trudeau. No one at the G20 can stand him either.

Everyone at the CBC should lose their job.
