openparliament.ca

Looking forward to this public tech event with House of Commons staff, Wednesday in Ottawa: eventbrite.ca/e/opening-up-c…

Take a look at ourcommons.ca, Parliament’s great new real-time mobile site targeted to people on the Hill

Took openparliament.ca for a whirl tonight thanks to @AaronWherry and now I'm hooked.

@AaronWherry Thanks! To keep things fair, we rotate our subliminal mind-control voting orders between parties every few weeks.

openparliament dot ca: improving constantly, tweeting about those improvements every year and half

Also, hey, lots of site changes since the last update here: developer-friendly data, new bill pages, a visual redesign.

Open Parliament has sprouted shiny clickable new word-pictures in all kinds of places. Read more: #n31" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">openparliament.ca/#n31

It's early days still for @Open_13: don't expect anything shiny for a while. But it's an important project. Follow the Twitter account.

Worked with @SunFoundation and @opennorth to lay the groundwork for @Open_13: reusable data and friendly websites for provincial Parliaments

I'm testing a shiny new email alert system. Get email whenever something happens in Parliament matching your interests. openparliament.ca/alerts/

Also! Our new search has that sweet new-search-engine smell. I worked hard on it. Check it out, & please send feedback! openparliament.ca/search/

I'm very happy to be adding coverage of House committees (since 2006) to openparliament.ca. See openparliament.ca/committees/ or your MP's page.

"Committee" is the third dullest word in the English language. But House committees are often the most interesting part of Parliament.

.@orenmazor Spread the word, build pressure on Canada Post. Write your MP, fill out a request for postcodes on data.gc.ca/default.asp?la…

We all think of postal codes as public information. But they're not: they're expensive, jealously guarded data. It's time to set them free.

Canada Post wants you to know: if you share lists of postal codes to, say, help people find their MPs, they'll sue you. geocoder.ca/?sued=1
