20 More Canadian Parents to Follow on Twitter

It figures that the one week when I haven't spent more than five minutes on Twitter, I would be named one of the 25 Best Canadian Parents on Twitter. (According to CanadianParents.com, which created the list, "Ann will keep you informed on all things parenting and politics. She’s also very friendly!") The list also includes Brandie Weikle, Annie Urban (PhD in Parenting), Lola Augustine, Jenn Hardy, Kathy Buckworth, Alyson Schafer, Erica Ehm, Catherine Connors, and plenty of other parents whose names you're sure to recognize.

Of course, any list that is capped at 25 names has to leave a lot of incredible people out. Here, in no particular order, are 20+ more Canadian parents on Twitter that are definitely worth following, imho.

• Emma Willer
• Karen Green
• Chad Skelton (Curious Dad)
• Nicolle Wahl
• Andrea Gordon
• Gwendolyn Floyd
• Anthony Floyd
• Nadine Silverthorne
• Lisa MacColl
• Jen Taylor
• Alexandria Durrell
• Allison McDonald
• Jen Reynolds
• Annemarie Templeman-Kluit
• Alison Burke
• Sara Bingham
• Emma Waverman
• Sandra E. Martin
• Lianne Phillipson Webb
• Blake Eligh
• Lisa Borden

PS - Thank you very much, @canadianparents, for including me on your list and for starting this conversation about Canadian parents on Twitter.

The first list was wonderful but it did, indeed, leave lots of MY favorite lovely Canadian tweeters out. This list is great! :)

Thanks so much for our feedback, Ali -- and for being my FIRST EVER non-spam commenter on this blog. I think you deserve a prize. Can I offer you a copy of my new pregnancy book? I could either send it to you or sign it and donate it to a charity/organization/clinic of your choice, with your good wishes and a note explaining why they are receiving it. You can think it over and get back to me. Email = annmdouglas at gmail dot com. (Note the m )

Love that you included some BC folk! And that I am on a couple of your Twitter lists :)
Thank you Ann!

Thanks so much for the mention Ann, I'm honoured. Us Westcoasters did notice the list was quite Toronto-centric so thanks for expanding it!

I want to say, "Great list!" but it seems strange because, well, there I am on it. Thanks, Ann, I feel very flattered to be among that list of fabulous parents.
