		<description>Thanks for the post. I&#039;ve been working with our local government looking at opportunities technology may provide and another important aspect, not necessarily twitter related, is making data machine readable. If public data is easily accessible, the masses can use that information in research, apps, and numerous ways we would never dream of!</description>

		<description>Re: --------------------------------
@oac_cao - Ontario Arts Council (surprisingly, despite the bilingual name, it features only English tweets)
-----------------------------------

Bonjour Dave,
As a government agency, we are mandated by law to provide services to artists in both official languages. We take this task very seriously. All our tweets are bilingual, and when they are not, we make sure French speakers know the information is available in French. It can be a challenge to find the best venues that help us reach audiences in both languages at the same time, but we are willing to do our best to stay true to our duties and tap into the opportunities afforded by social media.</description>

		<description>I think there&#039;s tremendous potential for members of the government to get one one one feedback with the people they are meant to service. 

As trivial as it may be, the fact that David Miller has replied to two of my tweets makes me feel that he&#039;s a leader who&#039;s in touch. 

And I learned he&#039;s a rugby player, which means he has my vote!</description>
