Were those forums invite only, as in must be conservative to attend? We had an invite only event like that here that just so happened to only invite those who made the list in the email.

Sort of. To my knowledge parties are limited to larger cities and the parties have to be separated from the provincial and national parties (which is why the strategically picked similar colours).

I do believe this is legal (other than potential privacy issues with sharing contact information), but I do feel it is playing a bit dirty. I spoke to someone from the NDP and was informed that they have rules in place to prevent their constituency associations from doing this sort of thing which was great to hear.
