Tamara A. Small (Mount Allison University) has published work on online election campaigning in Party Politics and in the Canadian Journal of Political Science and about Internet regulation in Election Law Journal.

I've been reading a lot of tweets written by Canada's party leaders over the last few weeks. This one struck me as a bit odd:

@elizabethmay: Hi Josh! What can I say? I love you too! @joshrachlis #elxn41 #GPC

Elizabeth May (@elizabethmay)and the the Green Party @canadiangreen have certainly been the most conversational on Twitter during the campaign -- thanking supporters and responding to request for information. But love?

The tweet is in respond to a YouTube by Josh Rachlis called "Love song for Elizabeth May."

 

Viral videos are continuing to playing an important role in this campaign.
