Policy Wiki


Now here's a cool idea. Did you ever think that you could write a better law than what's out there already? The Globe and Mail has started a Policy Wiki where you can collaboratively do just that:
 

What is this site for?

We want you to help us send the government a message about what you think federal policy should look like, and the principles it should be based on. But we don't just want you to give us your comments (although that's fine too, and you can do that in the forum). We'd also like you to use the wiki's built-in tools to help us create a series of positions on policy issues, which we can pass on to the government as a tangible sign of what you think must be done. Although we are asking for you to rate the positions and rank? the issues you care about, however, it is not meant to be a simple popularity contest

Issues such as Immigration, Climate Change and Afghanistan are currently featured on the front page.

(Another similar wiki can be found at OpenPolitics.ca)
