globeandmail.com : Campaign gets tangled in website spoof

globeandmail.com : Campaign gets tangled in website spoof:

"Mr. Volpe's campaign had the site shut down without knowing, it seems, who put it up: 'Hi Everyone,' wrote Brenden Johnstone, who is with the Volpe campaign, in an e-mail to other leadership campaigns. 'There has been concern about how the issue of the Volpe donations was reflecting on the leadership race.

'My Office has had the website suspended through CIRA [Canadian Internet Registration Authority] and CDNS [Canadian Domain Name Services] and it will be down as soon as 6 p.m. I think the issue with the website has been dealt with. . . .'

At one point, the Michael Ignatieff campaign's Quebec youth director, Marc-André Gendron, was suspected because the website was similar to other political sites he had created. Mr. Gendron denied any involvement, pointing out that one of the testimonials was from two children named Chris and Toby Aggarwal. As it turns out, Sachin Aggarwal is the Ignatieff campaign's director of operations."
