True, they were. The phone calls went through their phone system.

Pat Martin call them RackNine Rascals.. seriously, this is offensive?? You little Rascal CNDBear (don't sue me now) lol

So where is the lawsuit.. just by the fact that they claim on their web site they are providing "Web Hosting in Alberta" they are liars, they are resellers of hosting for Godaddy.com out of Arizona.

This is a $179/year reseller account.. certainly not worth 5 million dollars in lost revenue.

He bought a few servers.. took photos, o.k. and expense of many $10,000.. for the 5 servers..

I would like Meier to prove the lose of 5 million dollars in revenue..

NDP MP's apology fails to head off defamation lawsuit by auto-call firm

Outspoken New Democrat MP Pat Martin gave an unequivocal apology to RackNine Inc., and its CEO Matt Meier Monday, but the mea culpa comes too late to halt a $5-million defamation lawsuit launched against him.

"I wrongfully accused them of being part of conspiracy to commit electoral fraud," Martin told reporters. "I now know that the statements I made insinuating Mr. Meier and RackNine's participation in an electoral fraud conspiracy were wholly and unequivocally false."

But Justin Matthews, a lawyer for Meier and RackNine, said the apology comes too late to stop his client's lawsuit. Severe reputational damage was done by Martin, Matthews said, and the issue will be resolved in court.

"This doesn't resolve the lawsuit," Matthews said. "We demanded an immediate apology."

In a Feb. 23 warning letter to Martin, Matthews said his client was compared to criminals, and called a "goon," a "rascal" and a "sleazy punk" on television and to print reporters. The letter demanded Martin make an immediate and fulsome apology through major media outlets, but none was made until Monday.

Martin made the statements in question on Feb. 23, amid a political firestorm raging over fraudulent automated robocalls made during the 2011 general election. A political operative using the pseudonym "Pierre Poutine" placed robocalls through RackNine's automated calling service, drawing national attention to the firm, which was never itself under investigation.

Martin said Monday that RackNine is not to blame for the robocall scandal. "RackNine provides a legitimate automated call service, similar to services used by many political parties," he said.

Since he ignored the apology, I'm guessing his lawyers have something to that effect. I prefer jurisprudence, to BOOMer logic though.
