The Canadian political blogosphere includes political commentary using any social media technology. Its culture differs from that of Europe or the US. The term ‘blogosphere’ was first formed colloquially in 1999,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/263572?redirectedFrom=blogosphere#eid )〕 and has since evolved to mean “the cultural or intellectual environment in which blogs are written and read.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/263572?redirectedFrom=blogosphere#eid )〕 In Canada, the ‘blog’ employs a vast array of social media technology. This includes traditional forms of individual blogging hosted through personal websites or blogging tools such as Blogger or Tumblr, and has also come to include micro-blogging platforms such as Twitter. In Canada, blogging has more recently been adopted by the mainstream media. By necessity, these traditional forms of news media aspire to retain a voice in an increasingly globalized public sphere. Presently, three of Ontario’s major newspapers (The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, and The National Post) retain a roster of bloggers, each providing commentary on current events. ==Political blogs== A primary player in this new rapid-fire culture of information sharing is the ‘political blog,’ a term use to describe any blog that provides written commentary on current political news and events. Scholar Antoinette Pole views the political blog as a “prominent agent driving many rapid changes...() fundamentally transforming politics and civic engagement.” In the United States, a country of increasingly polarized mainstream ideologies, Pole acknowledges that blogging is a phenomenon that may only make these differences more problematic. However in Canada, a country where political divides are often less clear-cut, the atmosphere surrounding political blogging is entirely different and lines are more blurred. The dominant demographics and ideologies of the Canadian political blogosphere are different enough from their Western counterparts to merit their own course of study. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Canadian political blogosphere includes political commentary using any social media technology.
