Isn't it agaisnt General Election Rules to send campaign emails to non-subscribers

Correct OtnosmohT if I am wrong here (though OtnosmohT never is), but I thought sending unsolicited Campaign Messages/Invitations via email was against Toronto General Election Rules.

But don't take OtnosmohT's words for it. I received an email forward from a fan (my first hatemail - woohoo!). I've pasted it below. For discretion reasons, I've "ex'd" out the name of the recipient. That's the only modification to the message below:

If you ask me, it looks like a George Smitherman Campaign Invitation. I wonder who would get in to more trouble; Sarah Thomson or George Smitherman?
