Ahh, that's the moral compass we expect of a guy who gives national secrets to biker gangs.

When did it become illegal to share email addresses? I'm not defending Mad Max, but this just seems like it came from way out in left field.

Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly revealing previously private personal information about an individual or organization, usually through the Internet.[1][2] Methods employed to acquire such information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including online shaming, extortion, and vigilante aid to law enforcement.[3][4] It also may be associated with hacktivism.

This guy is the last person anyone should listen to about anything but especially protocol on secrets and personal information.

That hot French biker chick he was with really needs to be thanked for exposing Bernier as the total twat he is.

Something doesn't have to be illegal to be against Twitter's terms of service.

Because some idiot could take his advice to "play dirty" any number of ways, including violence. That's often when happens when someone, of any political stripe, releases e-mail addresses and other personal information.

It's also proof (as if we needed any more) that Bernier is as sharp as a bowling ball. Stupidity like this is what guarantees the PPC will be spinning its wheels as long as he's in charge. It's manna from heaven to the PPC's political opponents, since they can use it to portray Bernier as the unhinged loon that he is.

Remember how the protesters at Trudeau's campaign events built sympathy for him and made the PPC look bad? This is just more of the same.

Most provincial Privacy acts makes things like phone numbers and email addresses 'personal information', and you don't have to share personal information if you don't want to.

It could be argued that this is a violation of personal privacy, which is a constitutional right.

Doxxing is always cowardly and wrong in my opinion, but not necessarily illegal, in my opinion. Personal privacy is not a constitutional right, per se.

I agree it's a dick move, but it is illegal. Going from the Alberta Privacy Act:

$1:

Use without consent

There are limited circumstances where information can be used without consent:
. . .

the information is publicly available, as prescribed in the regulations:

the information is contained in a telephone directory available to the public and the subscriber can refuse to have the personal information appear in the directory
the information is business contact information
the information is contained in a registry
the information in contained in a public record of a quasi-judicial body and is being collected for a purpose for which the record was created
the information is in a publication and it is reasonable to assume the individual provided that information to the publication

So, I don't think a privately collected private email address for the purpose of an election, could be considered publicly available information. Which is basically the only use Bernier could claim as reason for the release of it.

$1:

The Supreme Court of Canada has stated that the Privacy Act has “quasi-constitutional status”, and that the values and rights set out in the Act are closely linked to those set out in the Constitution as being necessary to a free and democratic society.

The argument could definitely be made that it's a constitutional right, but that doesn't apply to twitter or to Max. Especially since he lost his seat.

It definitely applies to Max, as it applies to Political Parties collection of data and he is El Presedente.

The constitution applies to parties that have never had any elected people? Or would that fall under private regulations of privacy?
