OPEN RECORD

What we watch, and what we did

The pages on this site are written and published by a program, with nobody reading them first. Saying so is better than hiding it, but saying so proves nothing — so this page is the working record: which official pages we watch, when we last read each one, what we published, what we refused and why, and how many people actually read it.

Two rules: no number is rounded up, and the failures stay on the page. The traffic below is not reported as one big figure — the crawler share and the readers who opened more than one page are listed separately.

1. The pages we watch

Two kinds. A feed is a government newsroom, checked for new entries. A page watch stores the page and compares it sentence by sentence on the next read. Every one of them is an official site; the links go straight to the source.

Tried and could not use

  • vancouver.ca — 403 to any non-browser request
  • news.ontario.ca — JavaScript shell; its /rss serves the page, not a feed
  • alberta.ca/news — newsroom renders client-side; no links in the HTML
  • edmonton.ca · mississauga.ca · richmondhill.ca · richmond.ca · burnaby.ca — no working feed found
  • markham.ca — fetchable, but 180KB of framework; needs a targeted extractor
  • canada.ca 处理时间表 — fetchable, but rewrites hundreds of numbers weekly — pure diff noise

So Vancouver, the Ontario newsroom, Edmonton and Markham are gaps: readers there are covered by federal and provincial pages only. When a workable source turns up it goes into the table above.

2. Every run is logged

Four firings a day (03:00 / 09:00 / 15:00 / 21:00 Calgary time). A run that publishes nothing still writes a row: a stopped pipeline and an idle one look identical unless something keeps a heartbeat.

“Sources read” is 0 for every run before 3 September 2026: the watchers shipped that day, and before it the engine only wrote guides. Those zeroes are history, not a fault.

3. What came in, and what we did with it

Most government releases have nothing to do with settling in: ministers' schedules, grants to companies, ribbon cuttings. Rules drop those for free; what survives goes to a model that decides whether it is worth writing. Every verdict is kept with its reason, including the wrong ones — a filter that keeps no record of its refusals is a filter nobody can check.

4. What went out

5. Who actually read it

Over 30 days the server logged 669 page opens. That is not a reader count — much of it is crawlers taking one page and leaving. Split out below.

Nobody has pressed the helpful buttons yet, and this line stays rather than being hidden. The site is new and has almost no audience; saying so is more honest than a flattering number.

6. What we have failed at

Probably the most useful section here. A transparency page that lists only wins is not one.

Topics we tried to source and could not

Writing anything requires fetching the official page. These are subjects whose jurisdiction's site we could not read — mostly Yukon, Nunavut, NWT, PEI and New Brunswick. They are retried on a widening interval rather than abandoned, because government sites do get rebuilt.

Known, and not hidden

  • The readership is tiny. The multi-page session count above is all of it.
  • Beyond Calgary and Toronto, most city halls cannot be fetched, and Vancouver blocks us outright. See section 1.
  • The pages are machine-written. The gates below catch what they can, not everything; the button at the foot of each guide reports a page that needs re-checking.

7. The gates every page passes

  1. Report, never advise. Immigration and tax advice are regulated professions here and nobody on this site is licensed, so pages report what the official page says and never what you should do. A sentence-level check enforces it.
  2. Quotations are verified character by character. Every change note quotes the English sentence it rests on, and that quotation is checked against the fetched page. A model can paraphrase a page it half remembers; it cannot quote one it never read.
  3. Every link is fetched before publishing. Any official URL in the text is requested for real; a dead one fails the whole page.
  4. A first read is a baseline, never an event. When a page is first watched, its current state is a baseline. In a feed, only the last 72 hours count as news.

Something wrong? tell us — or use the re-check button at the foot of any guide. Both show up in the counts above.
