Not yet collected for this person: statements, 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
  • 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Code of conduct findings are those the City publishes, which are only investigations that found a breach; the code was repealed in May 2025, when the Province removed municipal codes of conduct (Bill 50).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.
