POLICY, NOT PERSONALITY
Canada issue spectrum
Each number describes a policy position, not how good a politician is. Higher means more of the policy named on that scale. Scores are editorial interpretations, not scientific measurements. Israel and Palestine are independent axes.

Social and affordable housing funding
Reviewed evidence does not establish a numerical placement. No midpoint or party-based score is substituted.
Editorial policy rubric, not a public-priority ranking. A higher number means more of the named policy dimension, not a better policy. Relative funding, tax and admissions changes require an explicitly dated baseline and comparison period in the placement evidence. Funding comparisons use inflation-adjusted per-person amounts. Proposals, enacted policy and outcomes must be distinguished; missing evidence stays unrated.

Method: use attributable votes, enacted measures, statements or a candidate’s own platform; identify source type and date; map the stated policy to the nearest defined step. Primary sources take priority. A supported interval is shown as a range, with no invented midpoint. Reviewed sources that do not establish the position are labeled “Not established”; this is not a finding that the politician has no position. No cross-issue total is calculated. Rubric v1.
FOLLOW THE DISCLOSED MONEY
Who funds Rob Nicholson?
Campaign contributors and outside spending are separate. A donation does not establish control, a policy bargain or a payment to the politician personally.
FEC coverage does not apply to this country. Local campaign-finance sources must be researched separately. Missing data is not $0.
Israel-related funding: not verified. We do not treat a missing filing review as evidence that a politician received no money.
