Exposing their lies on Twitter is probably an unexpected thorn to the Liberal Party, and may prove to be a somewhat effective means of communication - letters to MPs can be shredded or ignored, but putting the facts out lets the public observe their actions/reactions in a different light.

On the one hand, you have the vast majority of Canadians who are apathetic, or hear 'gun control' and think 'good, at least we won't be like those 'Muricans''. On the other hand, you have the people who are directly affected and stand to lose thousands of dollars in grandfathered/confiscated firearms. Their Twitter feed appears to be filled with the latter, and perhaps hasn't yet attracted the attention or concern of the former.
