Could I suggest one way to respond to your concerns Hugh would be to
include some examples of activities which are possible elsewhere because
of access to civic data which are impossible in Canada because of
financial and other restrictions (my example of KNLA and LILA are two
but I'm sure collectively we could come up with many more.

1st: the homepage/landing page looks very good. clean & effective. Logo
nice.
2nd: OK I hate to be a broken record on this, but it's still not clear
to me on that page - and elsewhere - what civicaccess.ca wants to do.In
particular this sentence:
"If you share our values, or if you have ideas about ways to accomplish
our goals, why not join us?"
seems a bit odd since we have not defined the goals. The values,
however, seem well covered by "we believe ..."
I suggest as a goal(s):
"To promote open access to all civic data from all levels of government
in Canada; and to encourage citizen projects with that data."
This is a 2-pronged goal, which I think is OK. And for some kind of
slogan, how bout:
"It's our data. Let us use it."
Or something.
