Hello CivicAccess,

The website ibelieveinopen.ca that I mentioned earlier this week is now live.  The site collects sigunups from citizens and pledges from political candidates on five issues related to government transparency.  We're still working on tweaking the look/feel and adding more pages to display the results, but the basic signup mechanism is working and ready for use.

Pledges 4 and 5 are about open access to government data, so should be specifically of interest to this group.  I'll be sending out emails to MP candidates early next week -- it would be great to have a 'seed group' of citizen signups before then.  

If this is an issue you feel strongly about, please show your support.
