Perhaps you’ve seen a suspicious number of similar-looking tweets in your feed today. Hint: they all begin with “I found my #FirstTweet.”

It appears that the social media network that turns eight tomorrow is celebrating by digging up the very first words uttered by every single user ever, to be shared with (hopefully) far more followers the second time around.

Here’s mine:

If you haven’t looked already, brace yourself. While you may have honed your Twitter technique over the years, there’s a pretty good chance your first Tweet won’t have Shakespeare spinning with worry in his grave.

But what about Canada’s heavily scripted, media-trained, don’t-stray-from-the-party-line Members of Parliament, who have to navigate the social media sphere blending political obligations with a little personality?

Here are a select few first posts from some of Parliament Hill’s best-known tweeters.

The leaders

Making like a good politico, @pmharper invited followers to view the Conservative party website.

Current Official Opposition Leader (and Quebec MP) @ThomasMulcair tweeted in French, bien sur.

Liberal MP and now-Leader @JustinTrudeau announced that he was off to celebrate Greek independence.

Green Party Leader @ElizabethMay was celebrating her hard-won inclusion in the election debates.

Parliament’s prolific tweeters

Astronaut-turned-MP @MarcGarneau used a space analogy, natch.

Making like a good Canadian, @TonyclementCPC tweeted a lyric from the Guess Who’s “Guns, Guns, Guns.”

Perhaps appropriately for a sommelier, @MichelleRempel tweeted a wine review.

Liberal MP @Carolyn_Bennett was in a hockey state of mind after a day of work.

To the surprise of no one, @kenneyjason, then-immigration minister, tweeted about leaving a political event to meet with local cultural communities.

NDP MP @nathancullen pretty well exemplified the life of an MP, particularly one who lives thousands of kilometres from Parliament Hill.

Foreign Affairs Minister @HonJohnBaird was with “Pierre P,” who we might assume is Pierre Poilievre.

Perhaps not surprisingly, @PierrePoilievre kicked things off with a partisan swipe.

NDP MP @MeganLeslieMP surely wasn’t the first or the last new user to tweet about need to figure out how to communicate in 140 characters.
