Ct coalition asks wrong people for donations

People who say they've never given out personal information toMarcel Ct's municipal election campaign have been asked to donate money in emails sentto their personal accounts.

Some recipients say they can't even vote in Montreal,and at least one person is actually running in a rival campaign against Ct.

Dorvalresident JoshuaArlesssaid he was surprised to receive an email asking him to contribute to MarcelCt'scampaign for mayor because provincial law says he cannot donate to Montreal candidates while livingin a different city.

Legally speaking, I'm not allowed to donate in Montreal, said Arless.

"Why are they wasting their time and energy in asking me for money?"

Christian Arseneault is a Projet Montral council candidate in N.D.G. and said he's received two of these emails from the Ct camp.

"That's what makes it so funny if it weren't so sad, said Arsenault.

You know, someone's clearly not doing their job properly.

Both Arless and Arseneault are associated with the provincial Liberal Party, which said it has not provided any email addresses to any parties.

Ct coalition candidate Louise Harel said the team has been using a lot of lists to solicitdonationsbut does not believe it would have used contacts from the Quebec Liberal Party.

"I dont think that we would have used provincial party lists, said Harel.

Harel also said the coalition knows donations from outside Montreal are illegal andwould never accept them.
