So the other day I was in a conversation talking about the MP for my former riding, Greg McLean. I by no means am a Conservative voter, but of the Conservative MPs I can give respect to, Greg McLean is towards the top of the list considering the social issues he's worked on, and his engagement with the community.

I was checking out his website and shockingly found that he has a BlueSky has one of his social platforms. Not only that, but he also uses it regularly, posting multiple times per day. Now this could just be his publicity team rather than him directly, but it still caught me off guard in a positive way that it was a platform he utilized.

It had me thinking. What other MPs use BlueSky and/or Mastodon? I feel having a list would be a useful resource especially in asking other members of parliament by legitimizing the idea of providing a method of following them on social media without using X or Facebook.

I believe one or two of the new senators have joined Mastodon as well but haven’t seen much from them yet.

Maybe we should avoid blu sky as well. It is a US company, Mastodon and therefore Lemmy are open source protocols that can be hosted on servers that are not in the US.

Technically that list is blank as we are in an election period, so we have 0 MPs therefore 0 MPs on Mastodon or Bluesky.
