The changing of Canada's government during this election is just one of many changes happening all around us - nowhere is that more true that in the world of interactive digital media. In an open letter to all party leaders Ian Kelso, president of the Canadian Interactive Alliance/l'Alliance interactive canadienne, calls on the country's politicians and policy-makers to reaffirm their commitment to the interactive digital media industry.
Copies of the letter will also be individually addressed to each leader and sent out to mark National Digital Media Day
Download your very own copy of this letter to put on your site, or print off and mail to someone you think should have a copy as well.

On National Digital Media Day (NDMD08) in cities across Canada, people will gather in a simultaneous flash mob to block the busiest intersections by kissing for 2 minutes.
Symbolizing how high tech meets high touch, this event is designed to inspire hope, celebration, spontaneity and fun - for the digital media industry, Canadian culture, and life in general.
But what does kissing have to do with digital media? Flash mobs, or spontaneous gatherings, showcase the power of the internet - the connections and community that people make digitally that cross over into the real world. Whether it's inspiring blogs, random meetups, or media-making and sharing, digital culture is alive and well across Canada and NDMD08 is meant to highlight it.
The kissing will be captured via mobile phones and digital cameras, and uploaded to www.thekiss.ca, creating an intimate portrait of those passionate about public displays of affection and digital media.
