What's not clear to me yet from reading the reddit threads if this is actually coming from the ford government, or if another group is using the PC name to scam people. Its beyond scummy regardless of who's doing it and has to be illegal, but I dont think people should jump the gun just yet on who's responsible. Scams try to impersonate legitimate companies or groups all the time.It has been reported on Reddit too. Some people are getting invoices for more.
The consensus is that it violates laws pertaining to mail delivery and possibly involves Elections Ontario.
It is in violation of the Canada Post Corporation Act, Solicitations by Mail Regulations (C..R.C., c. 1295) Paragraph 2 which states:
Where a letter or other mailable matter that is not a bill, invoice or statement of account due is in such a form that it has the general appearance of a bill, invoice or statement of account due, it shall have endorsed on its face the following notice:
“This is a solicitation for the order of (goods, services or goods and services, as the case may be) and not a bill, invoice or statement of account due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer unless you accept this offer.”
