On tuesday night, during an all-candidates television show on Shaw Cable in Saskatchewan for the riding of Saskatoon-Wanuskewin, a caller called in and falsely accused the Conservative candidate and front-runner, Maurice Vellacourt, for sexually assulting a church secretary in the past.

It was  completely untrue, and when Shaw cable did a phone search, it turned out to be a call from the Liberal candidate Chris Axworthy’s campaign office.

Axworthy claims no responsibility for the call, and speculates that it was a prankster who snuck into his campaign office while nobody was looking and used their phone for the attack.

One problem, Mr. Axworthy. It’s the last week of campaigning in the federal election, and what are the chances that your office is left empty with the members of your campaign team taking a relaxing break?
