Hold Ottawa's Mayor and Councillors Accountable
Track campaign promises. See real results. Make informed decisions based on evidence, not rhetoric.
How It Works
We use a rigorous triangulation methodology, cross-referencing three independent sources to ensure accurate and fair assessments of every campaign promise.
Web-Based Research & Evidence
We conduct comprehensive research using council minutes, news reports, official documents, and public records to assess promise status as Completed, In Progress, Stalled, or Not Started.
Official Consultations
We actively seek direct feedback from the mayor and city councillors, giving them opportunities to provide context, updates, and clarifications on their promise progress.
Citizen Panel Consultations
For each riding, citizen panels provide ground-level perspective on promise fulfillment, assessing visible progress and real-world impact on Ottawa residents.

Enabling evidence-based governance for a prosperous Canada
Ottawa Accountability is a project of the Rational Canada Project, a non-partisan initiative dedicated to promoting objective, evidence-based approaches to Canada's greatest challenges.
