Re: Canadian Parliament - Government 2.0 and Access

[Marc Gorcey]

>From this report it's painfully clear that Canadian initiatives in Open Government are lagging behind the US.

"Although no other major provincial initiatives appear to have been announced so far, information and privacy commissioners and other regulators at the provincial level are beginning to encourage the study of proactive disclosure"

How can we impart to Canadians the benefits of Open Government ?  It may be necessary to engage individuals who are not online as they may be more interested in politics than not.  The TTC Riders Union in Toronto, I believe, benefited from having a Facebook component as well as an analog in-person townhall aspect to it.
