What's counted

Bills, debates, and government media are counted nationally. Lobbying reflects the public registries Clarion ingests: British Columbia and Canada (Federal) and City of Toronto — federal, provincial, and municipal coverage each reflects what has been ingested to date.

Every count is a deterministic tally of real records matching curated anchors — a way to group activity by policy area, not a measure of support, opposition, or outcome. Bills are grouped by subject, never by stance.

Most recent tracked activity: 2026-08-24.
