Alberta Party wants robocall investigated

Apr 15, 2019 | 6:42 AM

EDMONTON- The Alberta Party is calling for the province’s election commissioner to investigate after a man says he received a robocall that impersonated the party’s leader and said he supports the United Conservatives.

Bob Wispinski of Ardrossan, east of Edmonton, says he picked up his landline Saturday afternoon and the recorded voice identified himself as Alberta Party Leader Stephen Mandel.

Wispinski says the recording praised United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney and concluded by saying that he would be supporting Kenney in Tuesday’s election.

Mandel says he has never advocated voting for anyone other than the Alberta Party.
