[FACIL] Canada joins the Digital 7 network of leading digital governments

[Gabriel Cossette]

"Canada signed the charter Wednesday to join the Digital Seven, an 
international forum of countries that are partnering to strengthen their 
digital economies. The forum was created in 2014 and was called the 
Digital Five, but became Digital Seven with this week’s addition of 
Canada and Uruguay.
[...]
The founding members include digital pioneers Estonia, Israel, New 
Zealand, South Korea and United Kingdom, all known as advanced digital 
nations. The standout is Estonia, the birthplace of Skype, which Wired 
magazine called the “most advanced digital society in the world.”
[...]
During the summit, ministers from member countries signed the D7 
charter, which calls for commitments to open standards, open source, 
open government and teaching children to code."
