Liberals reaching out online to Canadians across
the country
OTTAWA - The Liberal Party of Canada has been actively using
a variety of social media networking tools to reach millions of
Canadians across the country.
The Liberal Party knows that just as important as talking to Canadians
about our forward-looking policies is listening to them to get their
feedback.
That's why we've been using social media networking utilities to
give grassroots voters the opportunity to participate in the democratic
process at a level never before seen.
The Liberal Party has a history of reaching out to Canadians online
through such interactive means as forumliberalis.ca, an online policy
discussion site where users commented on platform policy ideas before
the election campaign. As well,
www.thisisdion.ca,
launched during this campaign, is another interactive site where
Canadians have the opportunity to get to know a more personal side
of the Liberal leader.
The following tools are giving us a tremendous opportunity to connect
with Canadians:
