Canadian Federal Election

My son-in-law, Jean-Luc , has been elected the Green Party Candidate in Ottawa-Carleton. It is very exciting! I have always had a keen interest in elections and the election process. As a teacher, we followed the electoral process carefully, for example: the Canadian Federal Election, Oct. 14, 2008. It was my last classroom, for the most part, and we really enjoyed the process!

I found this message in my mailbox and thought I would help spread the word!

Hello Blogging Canadians,

I am writing in the hope that some of you Bloggers might lend a hand in getting the word out about the new Canadian Political Twitter site http://politwitter.ca . PoliTwitter is a non-partisan service that uses Twitter to connect elected MPs and MLAs with their Canadian constituents with the goal of increasing engagement and promoting open government.

I would be thrilled if some of you could blog about the site and spread the message about getting MPs to join Twitter. I have a list of all the MPs not currently on Twitter that allows anyone to send emails encouraging them to join.

There is also a timeline showing when each MP has joined Twitter:

Also for you bloggers Politwitter has a widget that you can add to your site with some copy & paste code. The widget shows Political twitter and is customizable. So if you are a Conservative blogger you could customize it to only show conservative tweets.

Thanks for your consideration, I’m running this site not-for-profit, so I need all the help I can get!
