An anti-abortion group consisting of just two employees has received notice from the federal elections commissioner that it is being investigated for violating federal campaign laws. The investigation is looking into Ottawa-based RightNow’s role in helping connect anti-abortion campaign volunteers with like-minded candidates during the 2019 federal election. The Commissioner of Canada Elections is investigating Rebel Media’s Ezra Levant for releasing an unflattering book about the Liberal party during the 2019 election campaign. He notes Election Canada’s handbook on allowable election activity is 69 pages and was revised three times during the lead up to the 2019 federal campaign. Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story improperly identified the federal Commissioner of Canada Elections in multiple instances as affiliated with Elections Canada.
