The NDP candidate for Winnipeg Centre is filing a complaint with Elections Canada after fake pamphlets were reported in his riding.
Lorraine Sigurdson, Pat Martin's campaign manager, confirmed to CBC she's heard reports of a bogus flyer laced with profanities that includes Martin's letterhead and photo.
Sigardson said she hasn't seen the brochure herself.
Martin is vying to keep the seat he's held for the NDP since 1997.
Green Party candidate Don Woodstock, Liberal Robert-Falcon Ouellette, the Communist Party's Darrell Rankin and Conservative Allie Szarkiewicz all hope to unseat him.
