With an Ontario election set for June 7, the Tories are anxious for the matter to be resolved sooner rather than later. Hamilton police also emphasize that “no one has been ruled out” as a suspect in their investigation of unnamed Conservative officials. The criminal probe of fraud and forgery allegations at a Progressive Conservative nomination will continue into the election year, police say. At issue is a disputed Conservative candidate nomination from May 7 in Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas. Criminal fraud and forgery are serious charges; a conviction can lead to a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
