— A Brooklyn author named Eddie Joyce has found himself on the receiving end of harsh online criticism — all meant for a Newfoundland politician of the same name. The Canadian Eddie Joyce is a former cabinet minister currently under investigation for allegations of bullying from other members of the provincial house of assembly. The Brooklyn Joyce quoted one angry user with the comment, “A glimpse into the life of Eddie Joyce, a Canadian politician who is not me.”The American Joyce goes by the handle @eddiejjoyce, and his avatar includes the New York skyline. In an exchange with one apologetic Twitter user, the American Joyce said he hasn’t minded watching the distant political circus unfold. Still, the Brooklyn Joyce isn’t phased, joking on Twitter: “Adding Newfoundland to the next book tour.”
