Demonstrators marched through downtown Vancouver Saturday in protest of the robocall scandal.
"There isn't a more important issue than this in Canada right now," said rally organizer Sarah Bueller, with OpenMedia.ca.
"We can fight on every issue but if we can't trust the ballot box this is going to turn into something very shortly that isn't Canada."
CBC News has been told about suspicious calls in nine B.C. ridings:
Burnaby-Douglas.
Burnaby-New Westminster.
New Westminster-Coquitlam.
North Vancouver.
Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission.
Prince George-Peace River.
Saanich-Gulf Islands.
Vancouver Quadra.
Vancouver South.

So just what is going on here?
Is the CBC, a crown corporation, injecting their analysis of this demonstration?
Is Evan Solomon now the government spokesperson?
If the ridings listed in the CBC's injection of crap, then the 31,000 number is way off base and they should be really adding some intelligence to their hearsay comments!
Robo-call protest in Vancouver kicks off national wave of demonstrations
The first of a series of protests planned across Canada to protest against the robo-call scandal is under way in downtown Vancouver.
Members of Parliament joined union leaders and other protesters for today's protest through downtown streets.
Many of the demonstrators carried Canadian flags, and at least one of those flags was flown upside down.
New Democrat MP Libby Davies and Adrienne Carr, a candidate for the Green Party in the last election, called for a public inquiry into the issue.
