Pierre Pollyev's name is on the ballot in today's federal by-election in the Alberta riding of Battle River Crowfoot.

With his political future hanging in the balance, the Conservative Party leader needs a seat in the House of Commons after losing his home riding in the general election back in April. And Pollyav is expected to win. In every election over the past 25 years but won, the Conservative candidate has won this writing with at least 80% support of the electorate. He was one of Canada's most prolific artists,

but never maintained any detailed record of his works. And as a result, Norville-Morrisso's catalog has become a popular target for forgeries. His estate and his adult children have long maintained that they are the victims, but court documents are showing that they may have allegedly played a role in the fraud. Michelle Allen has more. That was Norval saying, you guys, how dare you do that? Richie Sinclair was one of Norval Morso's apprentices. He says the late Anishinaabe artist long fought against fraudulent copies of his work.

Court documents linked his children and estate to a dealer who pleaded guilty to forgery. A police inspector who investigated the fraud says some of Morissot's children were paid to authenticate paintings. It was really difficult to fight this fight with them either sitting on the sidelines or protecting fraudsters. Art fraud lawyer Jonathan Summer spent 16 years representing clients who bought questionable Morissos. For years, the late artist's estate and children presented themselves as victims of foragers and art dealers. The children never faced charges. They denied all claims in their defense. Sinclair says there could be thousands of forgeries still out there.

You know, so this is coming out no matter what. He says Moro's legacy has been wounded by the fraud. Michelle Allen, CBC News, Thunder Bay. And that is the world this hour. For news anytime, go to our website, cBCNews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. Thank you.
