Canada's national portal

http://data.gc.ca/

has relaunched on CKAN with Drupal front-end.
You can see some of the code here

https://github.com/open-data/ckanext-canada

There's a new license that is harmonized with some other Canadian 
jurisdictions

There will also be a national open data competition.

"a National Open Data Challenge and Appathon using federal datasets, 
which will take place in the fall"
