It’s only one of a torrent of politicized tweets that Raffi has been firing off for years.

He has decried free trade and warned of the dangers of Wi-Fi. Although never a fan of the Conservatives, since the election started he has taken to near-hourly decrials of Stephen Harper as “corrupt,” “a liar,” “un-Canadian,” and guilty of “ELECTORAL MALFEASANCE.”

Whenever Conservative fortunes seem to be rising, Cavoukian blames the media.

“It’ll be the media’s fault, if by some strange twist SH gets the most seats — way too soft on the corrupt, 3-time election cheater,” he wrote on Tuesday amid criticisms of CBC reporter Rosemary Barton for failing to mention Harper’s “democracy abuse” during an interview with the Conservative leader.

According to Twitter’s own data, Cavoukian is one of the country’s most active political Twitter users. During the first three weeks of the campaign he posted more than 500 politics-related tweets, placing him among the top 197 politically driven Canadian Twitter users.

Aside from his music career, Cavoukian, somewhat ironically, is the author of a book warning about the dangers of social media. Entitled #lightwebdarkweb, it urges parents to cut their children’s time on social media and warns that the Internet carries a raft of “social, ecological and health hazards.”
