About 90 people gathered at Halifax Grand Parade on March 11th to protest the ongoing robocall scandal.

In February it was discovered that tens of thousands of people across Canada had received misleading automated phone calls during the last federal election, directing them to voting locations that didn't exist. An Elections Canada investigation is ongoing to determine who was behind the calls.

The protest was held at 1pm, as part of the National Day of Action Against Election Fraud. Similar protests were being held in two dozen other cities across Canada, to demand a public inquiry into the scandal.

Speakers at the Halifax event included:

Megan Leslie - Member of Parliament for Halifax
Kyle Buott - Halifax-Dartmouth and District Labour Council President
Christopher Majka - Project Democracy Spokesperson
Ian Matheson - Occupy Nova Scotia Representative
