Nonpartisan Governance Ledger Value for your tax dollar

Where does every tax dollar go?

Governments publish the numbers. We collect them, score them, and grade every province, city, and member of Parliament on the value they deliver for your taxes — so you can see exactly what you're getting. All public sources, one ledger, no spin.

01
Public sources only

Every number traces to Statistics Canada, CIHI, CMHC, CREA, provincial auditors, and other public records. Nothing is proprietary or paywalled.

02
One transparent formula

Each entity is scored on weighted categories with the same published methodology, then converted to a letter grade you can trace line by line.

03
No party, no agenda

The ledger grades outcomes, not politics. Governments of every stripe are measured against the same evidence and the same bar.

Keep the ledger open

Accountability, kept current.

The Nonpartisan Governance Ledger is free to read — always. No paywall, no ads, no partisan agenda. But the data costs money: hosting, subscriptions, and hundreds of hours tracking down numbers governments don't make easy to find. If it's ever informed an opinion of yours, consider chipping in.
