Good elected official to chat with on Gov 2.0 is Edmonton City Councillor @DonIveson

Not sure these are so much the 'right' people, however, this is an interesting list

I recommend you read Paul Thomas' excellent paper on what the implications of easy electronic access to government can easily encourage at the centre: http://www.oliphantcommission.ca/English/documents/pdf/ReportThomas... It's pretty chilling; at least I find it so. Since the Oliphant Commssion is due to release its report soon, the site may not be up that much longer. Better snag the paper while you can.

if you contact Paul, say hi for me.

David Akin maintains a list of all the politicians in Canada who are on twitter. Might be a good place to start. Check out - http://www.davidakin.com/politicaltwits/ ()
