Will Simons' Passwords Block His Chance to Lead NDP?
Party deciding whether to disqualify candidate for refusing to hand over Facebook, Twitter codes.
Just over seven years ago, the brand-new Tyee gleefully took on the awful websites of Canada's federal Liberal and NDP leaders (and the contenders for the leadership of the semi-new Conservative Party of Canada).
What a difference seven years can make! As we launch into the 2011 federal election campaign, all parties are well entrenched in social media that didn't even exist in 2004. (The NDP even has an on-message 404 page.) How well they use them remains to be seen.
Here's our guide to the parties' websites, Facebook pages and Twitter pages, plus some useful hashtags for topics, election reporters, and kibitzers. We'll add or remove links as the campaign advances.

All the parties
The Elections Canada web site has a list of all 19 federally Registered Political Parties...

5 Parties?
Why is it that the BQ, NDP, Libs, Cons, and Greens are almost always the only parties and their candidates the only ones represented in the majority of media? Who makes this decision? Why include the BQ and not candidates that the majority of Tyee readers can actually vote for? What of independents, and the other 14 parties? I'm shocked to see the Tyee perpetuating this.
This redaction of political options has dangerous consequences, such as "all candidates" debates where local candidates from any other parties have been barred from speaking.

Network Control of Debates
I've just had demonstrated who thinks they control our information: The networks. This story (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/03/29/cv-may-greens-debates.html) demonstrates that the networks seem to think the Bloc Q is of importance in Canada and other parties (excepting the Big Three) are not. Thank goodness for social media!
