The Globe and Mail (Canada) offers this report, which begins: “The moment he heard the vote count in the Atlantic region during the 2000 federal election, Paul Charles Bryan executed a strategy he hoped would result in him being charged with a criminal offence. The Vancouver man posted the Atlantic results on a website — a blatant violation of a blackout provision in the Elections Act that prohibits the dissemination of electoral results in areas where polling stations are still open. Mr. Bryan’s wish came true: He was charged, convicted and fined $1,000. On Monday, his constitutional test case reaches the Supreme Court. The 36-year-old computer software consultant will finally get his chance to have a law that he loathes struck down once and for all.”
