Know How Your Representative Votes In Parliament
+
Thursday, July 30 2020
+
+
+
As an advocate for openness, I had an idea to make a project out of the government of Canada’s Open Data
+initiative to take a look at how my local MP voted on various pieces of legislation.
+It turns out though that this was not necessary due to how easy it was to find this information on the government’s own website.
+In this article, I will explain how you can do the same.
+
+
1. Find Your Representative
+
+
The first step in this process is to find who your representative is.
+To do so, go to the government’s own website
+ourcommons.ca’s search tool.
+
+
Simply type in your postal code in the search box to find out who your MP is.
+
+
2. Their Voting Record
+
+
Every MP’s voting record is public knowledge,
+and it is available nice and simple in a table on that MP’s page.
+For example, this is a link to
+Pierre Poilievre’s voting record.
+
+
To find your MP’s voting record, do step one, then:
+After the Overview, and Seat in The House sections,
+there are three tabs, Roles, Work, and Contact.
+Click on work.
+At the bottom of that tab is a link which says Chamber Votes.
+This will open a small window with some recent votes by this politician.
+If you want to see all their votes, there is a button at the bottom named All Votes by This Member.
+
+
Tada! You can now keep your local MP accountable for anything you do or do not support.
+
+
3. Bill Details
+
+
If you want to get into the nitty gritty,
+once you open a specific bill, you can actually find out the status of said bill,
+or read the actual text by clicking the View this Bill on LEGISinfo button.
+
+
Both the status of the bill, and a link to a PDF document containing the bilingual text of the bill are visible in the main body of the page.
+
+
Conclusion
+
+
I thought this was pretty cool!
+It was way simpler than I thought it would be.

-It should be noted that in some circles the tools used are more common than in others.
-These are the everyday tools of many privacy advocates and computer nerds.</p>
-
-<p>If you have never used Linux however, then the method of doing this will be rather unfamiliar.
-This tutorial will be done on an <a href="https://archlinux.org/">Arch Linux</a> machine,
-but it should be the same on Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Debian,
-OpenBSD, FreeBSD, MacOSX, etc.
-The only operating system that does not include these tools by default (or easily accessible) is Windows.</p>
-
-<p>This tutorial makes heavy use of the terminal.
-You have been warned.</p>

-<p>We will be using the utility <code class="highlighter-rouge">gpg</code> for this tutorial.</p>
-
-<p>The other thing to note: The character ‘$’ (dollar sign) is usually not typed when shown in a command.
-It simply indicates that you do not need administrative privilages to run these commands.</p>

-
-<p>To encrypt a document with somebody’s public key, you need to first obtain it.
-My public key is available <a href="/public-key.asc">at this link</a>, and you can use it to send me encrypted stuff.</p>

-
-<p>If you want to encrypt your own documents,

-then you can create your own public/private key pair.
-You can use these to encrypt your documents,
-and you can send our public key to others so that they can securely communicate with yourself.</p>
-
-<p>Run the following command in your terminal, and follow the steps I outline to get you started.</p>

-<h2 id="step-2-import-public-key">Step 2: Import Public Key</h2>
-
-<p>This list of keys that <code class="highlighter-rouge">gpg</code> keeps on tap so to speak, is called our “keyring”.
-Your will need to import a new public key to encrypt files with <code class="highlighter-rouge">gpg</code>.</p>
-
-<p>If you already created your own public key, then this step is not necessary unless you want to also encrypt something for me :)</p>

-</figure>
-
-<p>To import a public key to use for encrypting files, use the <code class="highlighter-rouge">--import</code> option of <code class="highlighter-rouge">gpg</code>. Like so:</p>
-
-<pre class="terminal">
-$ gpg --import public-key.asc
-gpg: key 64FB4E386953BEAD: public key "Tait Hoyem <tait.hoyem@protonmail.com>" imported

-gpg: imported: 1
-</pre>
-
-<p>Now that we have imported a public key, we can make a message to send!</p>
-
-<h2 id="step-3-have-a-message-to-encrypt">Step 3: Have A Message To Encrypt</h2>
-
-<p>You can make a new file which holds some important, secret data.

- 1. Wash your hands!

-<p>Save this file as something like <code class="highlighter-rouge">test-pgp.txt</code>, and we’ll use that name later.</p>
-
-<h2 id="step-4-encrypt-a-message">Step 4: Encrypt A Message</h2>
-
-<p>Now that we have a message to send and person to send to,
-all we have to do is encrypt this message and it’ll be on its merry way!
-To do so, we must specify two new options to <code class="highlighter-rouge">gpg</code>.</p>
-
-<p>The first is <code class="highlighter-rouge">--recipient</code>.
-This tells <code class="highlighter-rouge">gpg</code> to encrypt using a certin public key that we have in our keyring.
-You can use the person’s name, email address, or the key’s uid.</p>
-
-<p>The second is <code class="highlighter-rouge">--encrypt</code>.</p>
-
-<p>You will also specify the <code class="highlighter-rouge">--armour</code> option to use ASCII armoured files. Put this option after <code class="highlighter-rouge">--encrypt</code>, and put the file name after <code class="highlighter-rouge">--armour</code>. See below.</p>
-
-<p>You can either use your own public key name to encrypt a document (allowng only you to decrypt it),
-or you can use my public key that we imported earlier (allowing only me to decrypt it).
-Either way works fine.</p>
-
-<p>This is the big one!</p>
-
-<pre class="terminal">
-$ gpg --recipient "Tait Hoyem" --encrypt --armour test-gpg.txt
-</pre>
-
-<p>“But there is no output!” you might say!
-Yes, that is because our new (encrypted) file has already been saved.
