I do think a code of conduct would be helpful. I don't know if there would be consequences. I know that I heard at the last meeting a description of harassment as it applies elsewhere, and cyberbullying was one of them, but I also think that we as individuals need to think twice before posting something that we know is going to incite an organization like the gun lobby.
When you deliberately post something that stirs up that kind of anger in public...I will say that being on the ethics Committee has been an eye-opener for me because of the number of times I've been called corrupt and a criminal. It's actually quite shocking. You know, it goes beyond just what the policies are; it's individual attacks that stir up the public.
The social media companies do bear responsibility in this. Even when we could report, I can remember reporting tweets that were horrific and getting a message back saying these didn't contravene community standards. There is some responsibility there with social media companies, not just for MPs but for every Canadian that gets subjected to abuse online.
