In a bizarre story, NDP MLA Lenore Zann filed a complaint that started a cyber-bullying investigation after someone tweeted a nude image of her from her acting days. The complaint has since been dropped, but this is an example of how anti-bullying legislation can go too far. Getting filmed nude on HBO is a different kettle of fish than sexting pictures being circulated.

Wasn't this an issue in 2009?

The tweeting is from this month. Not sure about the cyber-bullying bill or Ms. Zann's performance on HBO.

I look forward to the day Rob Ford/Mike Duffy use this legislation to prosecute someone who calls them a fatty and tweets a picture of them.

Which province is more likely to vote next year: Ontario or Quebec? I'm rather skeptical that either third party will pull the trigger.

Ontario. Legault would have to be suicidal to pull the trigger.

a) Doubtful, the dude is good at winning nomination races, plus he's something of a safety valve for the base.

b) There's a new Canada GD thread here
