Listing of Canadian charities.
I would be interested in being able to find out more.  And I from what
I understand that Canadian charity law is kinda broke (at least in
terms of  the justifications for gaining status being really out of

query.

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.
