We believe that MPs should have as much information about public opinion and what Canadians want as possible. We think they should especially have access to information about their own constituents. We also think that having such information could transform our Parliament by empowering MPs, by strengthening links between constituents and their Members, and by better informing debate in Parliament.

To begin, we will be sharing with MPs public opinion data on important issues, collected during the 2015 election and since then.

For questions and more information about the project, please contact data@localparliament.ca.

During the fall 2015 campaign we conducted one of the largest ever public opinion surveys during a Canadian election. Close to 40000 Canadians completed the study; about 700 people participated every day, expressing their opinion on a range of issues, rating our political leaders and parties. 

Using advanced techniques for measuring and estimating public opinion, we are able to provide precise estimates of public opinion within each Canadian constituency.
