"If you can't take the hate, get out of Parliament." That's just one of the nasty tweets Canadians MPs have received, and it's one of the tamer messages.

Just over a week ago, Alberta member of the legislature Sandra Jansen stood in the house and read a string of vicious messages directed at her after she switched parties.

As part of Thursday's At Issue panel on CBC's The National, a group of MPs read some of the hateful messages they have received on social media.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May received one tweet that was the repetition of "c--t"

Other female MPs shared messages, many calling them bitches or c--ts, or describing acts of violence.

The hate-filled tweets weren't only for the women. Conservative MP Deepak Obhrai reads a message calling him a "brown piece of shit."
