The USA is a much more open society, and obtaining information from government is much easier than in Canada. I note that in certain places the public speak at council meetings when an item is up for discussion.
Canada is held back by reverence for the old order courtesy of the Catholics and Presbyterians. Far too much secrecy for my liking. Thatcher swept away secrecy at the municipal level.
