CivicAccess is a group of Canadians interested in open access to government information who communicate via a sometimes lively mailing list .  A few people who contribute to CivicAccess launched some interesting tools this election:

• CanCan (Canadian Candidates) by Robin Millette - a collection of data and links related to election candidates
  
• ourparliament.ca by Michael Lenczner and Craig Davey - a tool for viewing MP voting records, with plans for expansion

The CivicAccess folks were a key group of early adopters for VisibleGovernment.ca's 'I Believe in Open', helping spread the word nation-wide.  Particular thanks for this go out to:

• Weston Triemstra
• Daniel Haran 
• Heather Morrison
• Robin Millette in his many, many, modalities
