In late January, a small team gleaned from the ranks of Vancouver-based citizens' organizations OpenMedia.ca and Leadnow.ca took the wraps off an exciting new project called Reimagine CBC. The goal was simple, but ambitious: to spark a massive brainstorm on the future of public media in Canada by asking Canadians how the CBC, as a public broadcaster, could be reimagined as a leader in participatory, innovative and engaging media production.
Democratize.ca
Democratize.ca was launched by political enthusiasts Marguerite Marlin and Chris Bush. The bilingual website makes every-day Canadians into virtual Members of Parliament. Canadians can cast their vote on specific bills actually being debated in the House of Commons. More than 150 bills are categorized by 40 different subjects. Everything from bills about Aboriginal and Nothern affairs to bills affecting income tax are in the topics.
