I should mention that when we actually start collecting donations we
aren't allowed to campaign for any political cause, so we'll have to
keep appeals for the government to release of images separate from our
charity work.

election it would give everyone a reading where the politicians
stood on the matter. I can't see how we could let public officers
get away with saying no, but until we have this implemented we won't
know. Is there anyone interested in working with me on pursuing
this matter?

I was trying to get the Ontario parliament to
release the photos of
the politicians under a GPL type license. I was able to get some
traction, but I didn't follow-up with them to ensure it was
completed. The latest idea was to get the members to choose yes/no
for a free license when their photos are taken after the next
election. The queen's printer office agreed this would be a fair
idea, but I don't think anything happened with it.
Would they have archival files of former MLA's?
