Toronto mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson is apologizing to residents
after sending out a wave of robocalls between midnight and 1:30 a.m. on
Friday.
I apologize to all + anyone who was woken by a robocall - I've personally called the company + had them stopped.Sarah Thomson
Hours later, Thomson wrote that she was spending the day
apologizing to everyone who received a call overnight. She said the timing of
the calls was due to a computer glitch.
Spending the day personally apologizing to all who were robocalled because of a computer glitch with the company... http://t.co/BZ4ZyIeLFySarah Thomson
Despite apologies, many took to Twitter to show their
annoyance at the early wake-up calls:
Sarah Thomson goes out of her way to demonstrate her inability to run a city (or campaign). Jeepers.Lyndsay
@ThomsonTO just sealed her fate. If she can't manage to not call people at 1 am, how can we expect her to run a city as big as TorontoCharles Wright
@ThomsonTO and this is why you will never be mayor.bianca;
I assume @ThomsonTO’s robocall was supposed to have gone out at 12:45 *PM*? #TOpoliheather
Sleeping away the evening...ring ring, huh? Hello? "Hi, this is Sarah Thomson..yadayada' 12:51 am! Get a clue @ThomsonTO #crappycampaignMcBain
Anyone have @ThomsonTo 's home phone number ? I want to discuss "policy" with her at 1 AM. #sideshowsarah #topoli http://t.co/GsyNMCb67qles williams
Just got a robocall from Sarah Thomson. Good scheduling. 12:40 a.m. on a Friday. #TOpoliAdam Swimmer
Thanks @ThomsonTO for your robo-calls at 12:52 and 1:10am. #crappycampaignFarzana Doctor
Why did I get a #robocall from the @ThomsonTO campaign at 12:30 in the morning? #sarahthomson #mayorcampaignfail #mayorfail #justsayinDelectablyChic
@ThomsonTO I'm sure it was an accident, but robocalls at 12:36am like I just received from you are probably not a good way to get votes.kim de castris
Why was I called at 12:45am by your office with a robocall @ThomsonTO?? #campaignfail #sleepfailGosia
