CBC: How open is Ottawa's new 'open data' website?

[Ted Strauss]

http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2013/06/18/f-open-data.html

Congratulations to Tracey and this forum as a whole for setting the

terms of reference in the cbc coverage of the data.gc.ca launch.

Without this group, the public would not get the full picture.

"Not if you're muzzling science, not if you're cancelling the census, not if you're practically closing and undermining your archive, not if you're turning off monitoring stations, not if you're not disclosing data related to projects like pipelines." -CBC quoting Tracy L

I should also say that the data.gc.ca revamp looks strong, and I look 

forward to using the site heavily. The treasury board deserves credit 

for investing in this, and for reaching out for feedback through the 

5-city round tables.
