Torontonians may love to mock our suburban 905 neighbours, but Mississauga’s new city site is incredible. Not only is it written in XHTML and uses a CSS-based layout that leaves Netscape 4 behind, it also provides a wide range of e-services. (It does, however, have ugly URLs and the site is impossible to validate, though a quick scan shows it comes close.)

Technically, Canada’s sixth largest city, Mississauga now offers a range of services online that we in the city of Toronto would love to have. Coincidentally, a new study ranked Toronto as the 10th best city in the world when it comes to e-governance. David Akin explains why the results are suspect.
