Hmm. I wonder who they are thinking of with this.

When you know it's misinformation, you're spreading lies.

[DrCaleb]

Pretty sure this is aimed at 'insurgent' bloggers who intentionally make up and repeat lies to get people angry and earn profit from it.

The Boss said they can't have "all those" people w time off on voting day.
One person at the wife's store went to an advance poll. The shop steward told the Boss to fuck himself, went out and voted.
The other 32 were busy shopping on the Saturday advance poll, and weren't shop stewards (the collective agreement and federal law doesn't cover them) and didn't "get to" vote at all.

Most of them would've voted for the party that would make it easier to decertify their union, stall child care subsidies, lay off teachers and nurses and hold back minimum wage increases anyways.
