Pierre Poutine(s?) Revisited...That Was Then & Thenner...This Is Almost Now.

That was then (i.e. pre-Poutine trial in April of 2014):

Former Guelph Conservative campaign worker Andrew Prescott has given evidence related to the alleged involvement of two other campaign staff in the “Pierre Poutine” robocalls case, sources say.

With an immunity agreement in place, Prescott gave evidence to prosecutors regarding the only person accused in the case, Michael Sona, as expected, but also provided information about Ken Morgan, who was the manager of the Guelph Conservative campaign...

...Sources say Prescott gave evidence that Morgan, the campaign manager, asked him to log into a robocall account on his computer. Prescott also told investigators he later destroyed that computer...


That was thenner (i.e. post-Poutine trial in August of 2014):

...Judge Gary Hearn said in his decision that he believed Sona did not act alone in arranging the calls made by someone using the pseudonym “Pierre Poutine.”

Hearn said there was reason to believe that, based on testimony in Sona’s trial, another campaign worker, Andrew Prescott, may have been implicated.

Ken Morgan, the campaign manager, has refused to speak to Elections Canada investigators and moved to Kuwait during the nearly three-year investigation. He has not been charged. His current whereabouts are unknown...


This is almost now (i.e. January 2015), according to Scott Tracey writing in the Guelph Mercury:

Ken Morgan, manager of Conservative candidate Marty Burke's infamous campaign and a figure with alleged links to the robocalls scandal, has been spotted in Guelph.

Morgan was seen entering a south-end restaurant Sunday morning. A short time later, fellow Burke campaign worker John White confirmed by telephone his friend is in the area, but would not reveal where Morgan is staying.

Efforts to contact Morgan directly for comment have been unsuccessful and he has not returned messages left with White.

White said late Monday Morgan had gone to Montreal and will be returning to Kuwait, where he teaches English, within days.

It's the first confirmed visit by Morgan to Canada since he moved to Kuwait, in August 2012, at the height of Elections Canada's investigation into the bogus calls which falsely notified thousands of Guelph voters their polling location had moved on election day 2011...

The hubris, eh?
