If you want to know what's up with Robert Smith these days, you obviously turn to the Canadian government's social media presence.

A Nova Scotian civil servant attending the Cure's show at Madison Square Garden accidentally Periscoped the show from the government's official Twitter thinking they were posting to their personal account.

The tweet was deleted almost immediately after it went up, but a Reddit user caught a screen cap.

This could be a happy accident, though --- if the government embraced its inner goth, Nova Scotia could truly be just like heaven.
