Subject: [GEOTHINK] Something for you to browse regarding Canada's strategy for a digital future

Canada announced its Digital Canada 150 document today, which likely will have some implications for the geoweb
https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/028.nsf/vwapj/DC150-EN.pdf/$FILE/DC150-EN.pdf
It's an easy read, mostly infographics and links. The strategy is mostly about extending broadband--remember Canada's a massive country--and about monetizing open data. The document's content on expanding culture, for those of you not in Canada, speaks to our federal government's eagerness to teach Canadians about our patriotism in historic wars (Canada has an odd relationship to patriotism that has no analog in the US).
Embedded in this document is a very interesting separate document, The Appification of Everything: Canada’s Apps Economy Value Chain
