Who built this
Trevor May (Vancouver, BC) @Canadaka
Politwitter was created from scratch by myself, Trevor May. I am a super patriotic Canadian and have a keen interest in Canadian politics. I created a website called "Canada Kicks Ass" in the late 90's which has grown into a large & active Canadian news, content & forums community. I have since expanded the CKA Network to include several sites focused on Canadian conent.
