Pat Martin, Member of Parliament, demonstrates the Twitter gestalt.

My friend Alyson already wrote about this, but there are just so many great Twitter things going on here at once (frank politicians showing their usual grasp of social media, you-never-know-who’s-listening conversations with a good friend‘s boyfriend who is either deadpan hilarious or actually related to my Member of Parliament…) I had to record it for posterity.

[He even hashtags the f-bomb tweet so no one following Canadian politics will miss it. Bwahaha.]

So @PatMartinMP is a real account? His language is SALTY. http://t.co/ruDfHrMI & http://t.co/0Emnavq3

If this was an American politician, he’d be fired before he even figured out the rest of us could see his tweet. Here in Canada, I don’t think we mind. We’ll see tomorrow
