[CivicAccess-discuss] Call for APIs

[Jennifer Bell]

Just before Christmas, the Sunlight Foundation launched an 'Apps for America' contest. To enter, you have to create a contest using one of their data APIs.  

What politically-themed APIs are available in Canada that could be used for a similar contest?  At VisibleGovernment.ca, we've been working building travel and hospitality expense database/feeds, which, as a side-effect, produces civil service HR data that can be used for org charts.  I also know that Michael has perfected a parliamentary vote-scraping feed.  

What other Canadian political data APIs are out there?
