The Digital Research Alliance of Canada

The Digital Research Alliance of Canada appears in the public Canadian lobbying registries. Clarion compiles its recorded registry activity — what it lobbies on, the public office holders it has logged meetings with, and its registered lobbyists — each line citing the official record. Recorded activity only, never a position or an outcome.
