In our crazy messy world, we need a reality check on open governments!

Who better to give us this reality check than writer, digital governance expert and long time open government advocate Alex Howard.

We had a chance to sit down with Alex at this year's Code for Canada Summit where we discussed not only the current health of democracy but also brainstormed solutions to strengthen our civic capacity.
