For those interested in increased access and participation. I also received a FB invite for this. Very cool Jacqueline Evan Leibovitch wrote:

Hello all,

I want to thank and congratulate Gareth Shearman and Telecommunities Canada for its recent "Internet for Everyone" campaign.

Our neighbours to the south may be unaware that there's also an election for political head of state going on up in Canada; they may be forgiven for being distracted, what with how the US election (and other issues) are shaping up.

The IfE campaign hopes to question the parties on issues related to Internet access in advance of the Canadian vote (whoch is October 14). It's using Web 2.0 to get the word out -- I found out about it myself through an invitation from Darlene to join a Facebook group.
