> Elliott is believed to be the first Canadian prosecuted solely for tweets
Oh wow, thats horrific. I am not sure what is worse; being "taken away" for posting a letter to the president in a communist country or actually going to jail in a democracy for sending tweets.
IIRC he was eventually cleared/charges dropped/something (too lazy to google), but that's meaningless since he still lost his job, got his name dragged through the mud and generally screwed over.
