I want to help that contact any way I can -- this is a file that should
be easy to win, and yet is still an annoyance.
I'm also curious if people know of a way to get contact/etc information
for MPs and MPPs that is both free (libre and gratis) and doesn't involve
screen scraping (which is questionably legal). For digital-copyright.ca I
have a script that scraps parl.gc.ca, but there may be something better
(and that reminds me I need to run it -- I kept thinkng the government
would fall and haven't kept it up-to-date).
