Translation – Libs are getting owned on Twitter!
Senators are about to turn the table on themselves and study the consequences of their own actions on social media. It’s a needed exercise as more and more politicians seek to whip up public outrage online and end up putting their colleagues in danger in real life.
What’s unfortunate is that it’s not in the Senate where the behaviour is most egregious. It’s in the House of Commons where chasing views and a larger reach on social media is incentivizing MPs to be more extreme in their rhetoric and less collegial in person.
