Michelle Simson, Member of Parliament 3.0 - Friday, May 28th, 2010

I don’t know much about Scarborough Southwest MP Michelle Simson. What I know is that she promised – and kept it – to put details of how she spent taxpayers’ dollars online.

That’s so right in this day and age. The technology makes it possible, and Canadians of all political stripes overwhelmingly want this kind of full disclosure.

Every other Member of Parliament should recognize the value of this openness. Walk like a duck…

So we haveĀ  the political class and the chattering masses. Not for the first time, of course.

Remember these refrains?

- Let them eat cake.

- Off with their heads.

Anyway, I don’t know very much about Michelle Simson, but I think she might be Canada’s first MP 3.0
