Funny... Liberals using a Call Centre

That's right... the local Liberal (or it could be a national setup) is using a call centre to drum up support locally here in Guelph. Maybe they just can't find volunteers around here or something... we've got our own local telephone bank going, and people knocking on doors daily.

Of course, we may have a national call centre of our own, but get a load of this... they must be using some really random calling software, because of who they rang up the other day. They called the home of a member of our Conservative EDA Nomination committee. That's right... a long time, hardcore Conservative. (was a Tory, Reform, Canadian Alliance, now Tory again) His wife had loads of fun playing with the rookie Liberal on the other end...

Lib: "Hi there, I'm calling on behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and we'd like to know if we can count on your support for Brenda Chamerlain on January 23."

Tory: "I'm not supporting Brenda because I'm supporting Brent Barr."

Lib: "Brent Barr? Who's that?"

Tory: "You don't know who Brent Barr is? He's the local Conservative candidate for Guelph... where are you calling from anyway?"

Lib: "Uh, Nova Scotia..."

Note to Liberal organizers... if you're going to be having your people call around, make sure you give your staff some decent intel beforehand!
