What the data reveals about money in Canadian politics
MPs who voted on Israel motions took contributions and lobby meetings from CJPAC and CIJA
Cross-reference voting records on Gaza, BDS, and ceasefire motions against individual contributions and registered lobby meetings from CJPAC and CIJA-linked organizations.
Oil & gas industry funds MPs who vote against climate policy
Senior executives from Suncor, CNRL, and Cenovus contribute to the same handful of politicians who vote against carbon pricing.
Corporate-linked contributions concentrate in two parties
The vast majority of contributions from executives in regulated industries flow to Liberal and Conservative candidates, not third parties.

About This Project
What WhoGoverns Tracks
Four public datasets combined into one searchable picture of who influences Canadian politics.
✓ Voting records: every House vote, searchable by MP, bill, or issue
✓ Government contracts: which vendors win, and at what cost to taxpayers
✓ Lobbying registry: who met with which MPs, and what they were pushing for
✓ Corporate influence: oil & gas, pharma, CIJA and other organized-money networks
Why Cross-Referencing Matters
An oil company lobbies an MP. That MP votes to roll back environmental protections. We aim to highlight this influence across all industries.
Sole-source contracts worth hundreds of millions go to vendors with no public competition.
Cross-reference which MPs received CJPAC or CIJA-linked donations against their votes on Gaza, BDS, and ceasefire motions.
Patterns Worth Scrutinizing
Lobby meetings before key votes: lobbyists from regulated industries meeting MPs days before legislation passes
Sole-source contracts to well-connected vendors: taxpayer dollars awarded without competitive bidding
Coordinated industry donations: executives from the same company all maxing out to the same politician
Voting records vs. campaign promises: MPs who publicly opposed something, then voted for it
All data is sourced from Elections Canada, the federal lobbying registry, the proactive disclosure contracts database, and Hansard voting records. WhoGoverns connects these public datasets so Canadians can see the full picture in one place.
