#RobocallMovies took off on Twitter on Saturday and hasn't looked back. (CP)

The robocalls scandal is serious business in Ottawa these days.

The Liberals are promising to release their phone records, but the Tories won't show us theirs.

One Tory is blaming Elections Canada for the calls, others have blamed the Liberals.

Pierre Poutine, Michael Sona, RackNine — it's enough to make your head spin. And if the polls are right, it looks like Canadians may be tuning out.

Craig and Marc Kielburger: Remembering Leaders Who Don't Make Robocalls

Today the news is full of stories about fraudulent phone calls and fake Twitter accounts. If there's an antidote to this poison, it's to be found in leaders like Cory Booker, the man who turned around Newark, New Jersey. In 2010, the city had its first murder-free month in more than half a century.

Let's not trivialize this situation with humour please.

It plays straight into the hands of those who would downplay the severity of the situation.

Lots of low information voters are not aware of what was done to Canada during the last election.
