It's March 8 and I just happened to follow a link at Liberal.ca to the Liberal HQ Twitter page. The most recent entry:

Hey Liberal dudes — If I can figure this Twitter thing out, surely you can too and trust me, it ain't good to have a month-old Tweet hangin' around.
Have you check out what one of your favourite targets is doing on Twitter? He's gettin' pretty good at it, too …
Come on David, Jason Kenney is not the Conservative equivalent to the Liberal Party of Canada. I see you're already following people like Dan McTeague and MHF, who are Lib equivalents to Jason Kenney. And since you're following them already you know they Tweet fairly regularly. Stop trying to help the Libs.
LOL – Reid – you tried, but just failed in an epic way.
Dan McTeague's last tweet was NOVEMBER 27. Is that tweeting 'fairly regularly?' This being mid March, I'd hate to see what 'sporadically' is in your books!
Whatever. MHF tweeted today. I was being sarcastic. Lighten up.

Maybe you're just the man for this job. I'd love to see a central list or directory of parliamentarians who are Twittering. It's a pain to input names, one at a time, of people you're looking for in the Twitter search box. I'm sure there are lots of other journos out there like me who are Twitter lovers who are looking to follow political types in our areas of interest. Maybe you could provide a running Twitter-on-the-Hill list on your site?

Good idea. I'll ask around.
I am trying to create a list of all federal MPs and provincial MLAs and MPPs. Its proving to be a large tast to find them all, please feel free to contribute any i've missed.
