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.

Votes, statements, promises and action milestones retain distinct labels. Dates preserve source precision; undated records appear last. Different proposals can explain different choices; a changed vote is not automatically a changed belief.

Statements and reasons for votes

Stated position · Aug 6, 2026

Supported protective shields for bus operators alongside training, safety-practice reviews and continued security investment after an operator assault.

Dhaliwal operator-safety statement, August 6, 2026 · reviewed Oct 30, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Adds first transit coverage for an uncovered current member through his dated authored statement; describes support without crediting him with collective implementation.

Stated position · Oct 5, 2025

Supported completing Country Hills Boulevard widening on schedule and further improvements to safe, convenient travel in Ward 5.

Dhaliwal roadway statement, October 5, 2025 · reviewed Oct 30, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Adds a named capital-project priority from a dated authored campaign statement; completion is a stated aim rather than verified delivery.

Stated position · Oct 1, 2025

Advocated further tree-canopy expansion in Ward 5, saying planting progress was insufficient.

Dhaliwal dated tree-canopy update · reviewed Oct 30, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Adds a distinct environmental priority directly stated in the dated primary-site index; the linked full article could not be fetched.

Published statements are attributed to their author and kept separate from recorded votes.

Promises and actions

No sourced commitments collected

A missing commitment is not a finding that someone made no promises.

Milestones describe the evidence collected. Adoption, an individual vote and implementation are different events; a missing milestone is not proof that a promise was broken.
