Today marks the first bizarre criminal accusation of the 2014 mayoral election, as Doug Ford says he has informed police about an alleged contact-list theft by Karen Stintz or someone working for her. According to CP24, Doug, who is managing his brother Rob Ford’s campaign, claims that people on the mayor’s private contact list were recently also contacted by Stintz’s campaign—which, in itself, proves nothing at all. “Someone, and I am not pointing fingers at anyone, but someone has received the information and has given or sold the information to the Karen Stintz campaign,” he told reporters.

Toronto Police have confirmed that they were informed about the matter, but haven’t said whether they plan on investigating, or whether they have already. Stintz has stopped just short of denying the allegation. “We have people supporting Karen who have supported other candidates in the past, and we accept lists that are given to us,” Lauren Souch, the Stintz campaign’s spokesperson, told the Post. Several Twitter users say they recieved unsolicited email from Stintz on Wednesday, so it seems to be true, at least, that she recently obtained some new addresses from somewhere.
