Hamilton No.2 for potty-mouth tweeting

The city that’s trying to clean up its act has been caught using dirty words — on Twitter of all places.

Brampton the Bad has been identified as Canada’s most vulgar city for tweeting more four-letter profanities than anyone else. Those “f” and “s” words appeared in 1.41 per cent of all tweets over a one-month period, according to a survey.

TBK Creative, a social media agency, looked at more than 1 million tweets across Canada’s largest cities to rank them based on the most frequent use of bad words.

Hamilton and London placed second and third with 0.9 and 0.7 per cent respectively. Toronto the Good ranked fourth with 0.62 per cent, followed by Laval and Montreal. Ottawa had the cleanest tweets to place 10th.

To be fair, not every tweet was tapped by someone in Brampton; the text just included the bad word in the same cyberbreath as the city name.
