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."
