In Canada, the provincial Chirpers with the most binoculars set on them (highest Following) are the nightingales (female leaders); the male Peacocks have less than 1/2 the Followers of the Female Flamingos. BC’s Christy Clark (@ChristyClarkBC) was the first Premier to speak in Twitterland (27 Aug 2009), Tweeting about friends, family, and life—not just work. This year, she said,
Girls have the power to change the world. http://t.co/b11XxYSzJP #11daysofaction @girlup

and sent online wishes for Eid Al-Adha and Diwali. But there are times when she brags:
Don’t miss my 1 on 1 interview with Peter Mansbridge today on CBC and this evening on CBC News Network. http://t.co/Cb1xAX4MIb #bcpoli

But Clark is provincially third on the block for most Followers, second to Ontario rival Kathleen Wynne (@Kathleen_Wynne), the only premier besides @PremierBradWall to have a verified account. She does talk politics:
Too many young people in Ontario are unemployed – double the provincial average. To grow our economy, we have to address this issue #ONyouth

Just recently she thanked @TimHudak (Ontario Conservative Party leader) for congrats on a grandson.
@timhudak Thank you Tim! I’m so excited to welcome baby Hugh William Wesley into the family.

Wynne even talks a bit about women:
84 years ago today, women won the right to hold political office in Canada. “Persons Case” affirmed that women are equal in right to men.

Both Clark and Wynne fly downwind of their nemesis, Alberta Premier Alison Redford (@Premier_Redford), who says what she’s doing, She says
