Also http://www.liberal.ca/open/ which basically just tells you to
look at their PDF.

-------------------
The Liberal Party of Canada is committed to democratic renewal – and
that means a commitment to open government.

While progressive governments in other countries have deployed digital
technology to advance transparency and unshackle information to fuel
knowledge and innovation, Canada has been held back by the most
secretive government in its history.

To create a new level of accountability for government spending and to
spur innovation and economic growth, a Liberal government will open
government to the public through four specific measures.

The Liberal Open Government Initiative will:

Immediately restore the long-form census;

Make as many government datasets as possible available to the public
online free of charge at opendata.gc.ca in an open and searchable
format, starting with Statistics
Canada data, including data from the long-form census;

Post all Access to Information requests, responses, and response times
online at accesstoinformation.gc.ca; and

Make information on government grants, contributions and contracts
available through a searchable, online database at
accountablespending.gc.ca.

Given about a week or two I could beat them to the punch on this.  Think I
should go ahead and do it?

Um, yes? I would love to see that. http://www.disclosed.ca/ is a little opaque to me.

yeah disclosed.ca is cool - but needs a massive ui overhaul.

I guess I'll try to find a week or two in between other unpaid projects.
