Great question, Ashley! I have recently been talking to the folks responsible for the Canada.ca Content Style Guide. I emailed them just this week to ask about the possibility of aligning that guide to the ISO plain language standard. They are very interested in this idea. We'll have an in-depth conversation about it soon.
