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
No sourced statements collected
This is a gap in the collected evidence; it does not establish a person’s views.
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.
Policy leadership
No documented leadership entries collected
Sponsorship and committee appointments require an explicit source; a Yes vote alone does not establish either.
Appointment records do not establish continued service beyond their sourced term. Authorship and sponsorship require explicit documentation.
Conduct and accountability
- Nov 15, 2022Council decisionC2022-1280
Council asked the Mayor to share the Calgary Police Commission's review of a 1997 police misconduct investigation involving then-Constable Chu with the Premier, and asked the Province to determine whether any further action should be taken. The review itself did not assess the criminal investigation or his fitness for office.
- Nov 15, 2022Council decisionC2022-1279
Council accepted Councillor Chu stepping down from his December 2022 and May 2023 turns as Deputy Mayor.
Code of conduct findings are those the City publishes, which are only investigations that found a breach; the code was repealed in May 2025, when the Province removed municipal codes of conduct (Bill 50).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.
