For people interested in how government institutions are responding to the current communication and collaboration climate, you can visit this wiki that collects Government 2.0 initiatives from around the world and arranges them in neat columns by government department.
You can shoot directly to the Maple Leaf listings here at the Canadian Government 2.0 best practices page (I think it's more a question of whether alternative media exist at all rather than a best practices space, i.e. you get a trophy just for showing up as the field isn't well populated). You'll discover, for example, that the Canada Revenue Agency held a YouTube video contest about the Underground Economy that challenged people to make and send in a video about how bad the underground economy is. Titles include: "The Taxman is Watching" and "The Story of a Skimmer" among others.
It also has a "Canadian Government Tweeple" page that lets you see both political and non-political tweeters. I doubt that it's exhaustive - it a wiki afterall so it depends on people filling in various blanks - but it's a start and over time may become a useful place to visit if you're trying to get in touch with someone - going through the official websites of governments, particularly the civil service, is akin to a scenario where Message in a Bottle is the only movie for an international flight.
