Avaaz vs. Sun News TV Redux: Hey, remember that whole petition kerfuffle?

According to the release that just hit my inbox, Avaaz has "formally requested that the Ottawa Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police begin a criminal investigation to determine the identity of the individual responsible for adding fraudulent signatures from an Ottawa IP address to the organization's "Stop 'Fox News North'" petition."  

Avaaz also claims that the ensuing kerfuffle -- and subsequent threat of a lawsuit by Sun News parent corporation Quebecor -- resulted in the organization raising more than $100,000 in just four days to "help Avaaz defend itself against Sun TV's attack campaign and its parent company's legal threats."  

At the moment, we have no way of knowing whether the RCMP and/or the Ottawa police will heed the request, but for the record, here are the letters sent to the two respective law enforcement agencies earlier today by none other than Clayton Ruby. (Note: The IP address itself has been redacted, likely for privacy reasons.)
