As one of those people I keep hoping that some Canadian journalist will do enough research to discover that one of those "others" is Canadian, and that most of the early coding was done in Halifax, NS.

I can't wait to see the first government sites that allow residents to really participate in government using these features. I was actually just thinking about that on the drive home yesterday.
