Conservatives say a suspicious document was made to sway prisoners against them. We looked into it | CBC News

CBC - 20/04
Some Conservative candidates and social media users are alleging that a document — which appears to be a fake version of a real government webpage — has circulated in prisons to turn inmates against the Conservative Party. The CBC’s visual investigations team looked into the claims.

Three Conservative candidates have shared online images of what purports to be a government document aimed at influencing inmates to vote against their party — but the document appears to be a poorly-edited fake version of a real government webpage.

In posts on social media on Sunday, CPC candidates Ron Chhinzer, Larry Brock and Frank Caputo all shared the document, with Chhinzer and Brock implying that the Liberal Party could be behind the move.

"This document was found behind bars and handed over by a prison guard," wrote Chhinzer in an X post that appeared on Sunday. "Are the Liberals seriously trying to win over convicted criminals by targeting Conservative crime policies?"
