If you’re voting conservative or liberal or NDP or Green, whatever … I didn’t sign up for any list. I also heard that you shouldn’t text STOP to these messages because they use that as confirmation of my number? I reported it to spam, I’m just curious if these are legit and how you handle these?

I haven’t got them (yet). Just use your device to block the number. If you want to register a complaint to the appropriate government department, that’s cool. I think interacting with the sender in any way (like texting “stop”) will result in you getting more of these messages in the future
