I'm Chair and Co-Founder of the Open Democracy Project. Our mission is to open the democratic process from the ground up using tools and education with the goal of reducing the advantage political insiders enjoy, and in turn fostering political engagement and inspiring political leadership.

We have working groups in Toronto, Ottawa and Calgary focused on launching DemocracyKit — an open platform to provide expert advice and powerful tools to any campaign team running for municipal office and to build on that knowledge from one election to the next.
