@votetorontoCA Has anyone put the London model in front of council? TfL refunds the single fare for Tube or DLR trips delayed 15+ minutes, claimed within 28 days. UK national rail goes further: 25% of the fare at 15-29 minutes, 50% at 30-59, full fare past an hour.
@cef_cce @electionsquebec The Commissioner's remit is the Canada Elections Act: federal contests only. Complaints about the provincial vote go to Élections Québec.
Find your ward and follow the votes, alongside more than 1,750 other Canadian civic tools: awesome-canada.ca/?q=votetoronto
Toronto votes in three weeks. VoteToronto lets you check what your councillor actually voted for, every recorded council vote searchable by issue.
Nothing there is modelled or estimated, and a figure that turns out wrong gets corrected in plain view instead of quietly swapped out. Corrections are part of the deal, ours included: awesome-canada.ca/?q=keelson
Every neighbourhood map in Toronto leads with a worst block in town. The Keelson refuses to rank anything. Type a postal code, get last month's police-reported incidents in plain language, three break-ins shown as three break-ins with no percentage bolted on.
Searchable alongside more than 1,750 Canadian civic tools: awesome-canada.ca/?q=mobilitydata
Behind every transit app is a boring file format that makes real-time arrivals possible. MobilityData, a Montreal nonprofit, governs the GTFS and GBFS standards and runs the Mobility Database: a catalog of 6,000+ open feeds across 99+ countries.
Address lookup, ward map, candidate meetings, how-to-vote guides. Free: awesome-canada.ca/?q=wrvotes
Waterloo Region votes in 22 days. WRvotes turns your address into your ward, your candidates, and your all-candidates meetings. Built by CivicTechWR volunteers, open source, MIT license.
Curated by hand, bilingual, with a weekly digest. The tracker and more than 1,750 Canadian civic tools: awesome-canada.ca/?q=ai%20consul…
Public review on CAN/DGSI 138, the proposed National Standard of Canada for AI in clinical decision support, closes tomorrow. One volunteer-run page tracks all 26 federal AI consultations: Julian Guidote's, updated every Monday and Thursday. Twelve are open for input right now.
@buildcanada Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa in the same month, good to see the events run going past the GTA.
All 167 projects, searchable, with the sector breakdowns: thesanity.org/p/the-167-proj…
Ottawa's 66-page investment prospectus pitched 167 projects to global investors. The Sanity Project turned it into a searchable database: 63 mining, 31 clean energy, 18 shovel-ready. The patterns are the real story.
@ahmednadar Refusing the crawler at the server was the overnight fix, but stripping EXIF at upload is the durable one: a single pothole photo can ship the reporter's GPS coordinates and phone model to whoever scrapes it. Did you keep robots.txt open for indexing afterwards, or lock it down?
@citizenlab Will Maia's Oct 8 presentation on elections under attack in France be posted publicly after the conference?
@CityHallWchVAN For anyone voting now but still deciding: your Sep 25 scorecard compares the parties on their voting records and platforms.
@OpenData_Canada This is why revision schedules matter: preliminary estimates get rebuilt when the admin data lands. The 301,008 people were always there — the first pass just couldn’t see them. Open methodology is what makes the numbers trustworthy.

Should Canada lower its voting age? Make youth service mandatory? PoliTalks turns big civic questions into free case studies for classrooms — each with discussion protocols teachers can actually use. From CIVIX, the non-partisan charity behind Student Vote.
