Over the weekend Conservative Party members released secret recordings of an NDP caucus meeting which show that the NDP are apparently working closely with the Bloc Quebecois. The furtive Tory who recorded the conversation apparently found himself invited to an NDP caucus conference call, dialed in, and started a recording. The Dippers are now threatening legal action!
Brings back memories of Watergate, doesn’t it?
In any case, this would never have happened if the NDP had been using our Calliflower conference call service to conduct their meeting. Each individual on a Calliflower call has a personal identifier, names and photographs of the individuals are visible to every call participant, as well as their status — on or off the conference call. It’s impossible to hide in a room full of people who all know each other… or on a conference call where everyone can see everyone else.
Have one of your minions call us Jack. We’ll set you up in a jiffy!

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

Hey that randulo guy is everywhere-
I get the feeling that the leaks are from insiders anyways. So, it doesn’t matter that you know who is on the call, one of them is the source of the leak.
The same happens with email leaks, document leaks or anything else. Someone decides they don’t like the direction the leader is going, and decides to undermine them with their own words.
