First login after being on parental for more than a year and it feels so weird - simultaneously gone so long, but went by in an instant. So much to dig into!

The federal government's database of medical guidelines will "go dark" on Monday due to budget cuts. https://t.co/0YYWVlKvGI received about 200,000 visitors per month and has been a go-to resource for medical professionals. Our piece in @TheDailyBeast: https://t.co/Qz1tkRIQIM

The SCC has just granted leave to appeal in Keatley v. Teranet - a case that raises interesting Crown copryight issues. This will be one to watch. I wrote about the ONCA decision here: https://t.co/G8aloefwmX @uOttawaTechLaw @geothinkca @awakaruk

@CabotYu @lady_mlake Good question. I'm not too sure, but could inquire. As you likely know, publications makes their data available https://t.co/qPQq8ig4l8 and will be posting an updated dataset soon.

What a packed house for #WILU2018!

[Kitt McGoveran @kittmcg]

@awakaruk And just noticing that the budget plan is linked to from the federal open portal that has the open license statement...!

[Kitt McGoveran @kittmcg]

So the 2018 federal Budget Plan falls under crown copyright, but the data associated with it is available under an open license? https://t.co/0MN9fu98Zv vs. https://t.co/ixBEl4GMhX Am I getting this right, @awakaruk?
