Not yet collected for this person: campaign commitments and policy leadership. A gap in the collected evidence is not evidence that none exist.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.

Conduct and accountability

Every record
  • May 13, 2024Recall petitionC2024-0633

    A petition to recall the Mayor was declared insufficient: it had 69,344 signatures against the 514,284 required, and a sample of the signatures found none valid. It was organized by Landon Johnston, who was elected Ward 14 councillor in 2025. Council received the declaration.

Code of conduct findings are those the City publishes, which are only investigations that found a breach; the code was repealed in May 2025, when the Province removed municipal codes of conduct (Bill 50). Votes link to Council's recorded decision.
