There are loads of federal politicians on Twitter, twittering and tweeting away and federal Environment Minister Jim Prentice recently announced he's on it too. His office said last Monday, Feb. 8, that he's at http://twitter.com/JimPrentice and said it's the place to go to stay up date with Mr. Prentice's "latest initiatives and announcements."
