But in July, a campaign worker called him again.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said.
“It was just a slap in the face.”
According to Assouline, the mistake occurred because the electronic list of voters from Elections Canada was out-of-date; paper versions of the list were still being used by campaign workers.
Kelly-Anne Drummond was murdered almost 11 years ago by boyfriend Martin Morin-Cousineau, who is currently serving a life sentence.
