So the article starts with:

> Canada is falling behind the rest of the world on open data and open government
> It's time for the Harper government to step up their game, or explain why they're not

ok let's see.

USA:
>U.S. President Barack Obama has issued an executive order to the entire country that open data is now the standard, not the exception.

UK:
>The British government did the same thing in 2010.

and, and, and… that's all? :)

rest of the world = uk + usa. Hmm strange vision of the world ;)
