OpenParliament.ca

For their assistance when I was putting together last week’s piece on the House—and for the indispensable sites they respectively maintain—I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Michael Mulley of openparliament.ca and Cory Horner of howdtheyvote.ca. I also must thank Ned Franks, both for his writing on Parliament and omnibus legislation and his perspective.

David Eaves writes to the Parliamentary committee studying open data.

The magazine’s Rethink issue—Warning: sideways design may blow your mind—includes this story on the open data and open government movements. The ideas discussed there may or may not change everything.

OpenParliament.ca strikes me as an impressively ambitious and valuable project. I am, quite genuinely, excited about it. Go visit and support Mr. Mulley’s work.
