Twitter is a funny creature. Because of the nature of the beast, you wind up following and, in turn, being followed by a wide range of different people with different interests and beliefs. So long as you don’t discuss politics or religion, things can be fairly amicable.

At first I found it somewhat amusing that Canadians were getting worked up over the news that the Conservatives scrapped the mandatory long form census in favour of an elective version.

The vitriol and anger spewed at the Harper government for the move was so extreme one could easily have mistaken the news for something important. Like, for instance, the traffic report on the drive home from work.
