But it's a fairly obscure provision of electoral law just the same. Deserving of a wrist slap for sure but no big scandal there IMO.

I don't know about it being that obscure, I feel like Elections Canada makes it pretty clear in the voting facilities that you aren't allowed to take photos.
She also has had a lot of governmental experience in the past, holding many former ministerial positions with the Ontario Liberals and even ran for the leadership of the OLP in 2013, receiving 43% of the final vote, but was ultimately beaten out by Kathleen Wynne. I would expect someone with that much experience to know better than to post their own ballot on Twitter.
