Following the Canadian budget on Twitter

I tweeted about this press release from the Dept. of Finance last week, congratulating them for planning to Tweet on budget day. I notice [Flaherty press secretary] Annette Robertson’s name is on the release — as her former colleague I can tell you that she is a gifted and innovative communicator, and I’m not at all surprised that Finance is using this new medium as a result.

This Thursday, be sure to follow @financecanada (but not @financecda, which is an impostor account) starting at around 4pm EST.
