The #cdnfp Twitterati: Organizations
Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada
From the Trans-Pacific Partnership to the panda pact, Canada spent much of 2012 building better ties with Asia. If you aren’t already, it’s a good time to start following Canada’s leading think tank on the region.

Canada 2020
Canada 2020 is an Ottawa-based public policy think tank on Canada’s future. #Can2020 is their hashtag, and live-tweeting outside and in-house events is their specialty.

Journalists for Human Rights
Journalists for Human Rights is a Toronto-based NGO that supports local accountability journalism in Africa – the kind that shuts down child brothels and keeps elections free and fair. On Twitter, JHR balances fundraising with a steady stream of #rightsmedia stories from around the world.
