Canadian Cyber snoop faces backlash.

This is poetic justice at it's finest.

Vic Toews faced further embarrassment today after a Twitter account created to ‘leak’ details about his private life swelled to nearly 6,500 followers — six times the number of people who follow the public safety minister.

The account @Vikileaks30 began recounting alleged details of the safety minister’s messy divorce two days ago and then moved on to posting Mr. Toews quotations indicating the minister’s conservative stance on gay marriage.

The bite-size revelations of Mr. Toews’ private life are a blatant jab at the minister who is backing a controversial new bill that would give authorities unprecedented access to citizens’ personal data online.
