Accountability Tracker

Qui reçoit le mérite, et qui porte le blâme? Chaque semaine, nous mesurons comment la couverture médiatique canadienne attribue la responsabilité de l'économie, à Ottawa ou à des forces extérieures comme les tarifs et les marchés mondiaux, et nous la comparons à la proportion de Canadiens qui approuvent le gouvernement.

Comment fonctionne le suivi

Is the federal government being held accountable, or is blame being deflected onto outside forces? Here's the current read on political accountability in Canada, tracked in real time through media coverage and government approval polling.

Chaque point représente une semaine : le cadrage de l'attribution en abscisse, l'approbation du gouvernement en ordonnée. Les quadrants ci-dessous expliquent ce que signifie chaque zone.

Rally Effect

External blame · High approval

A foreign threat is uniting voters behind the government.

The classic rally-around-the-flag pattern: crisis shifts blame outward and boosts incumbents.

Engaged Accountability

Ottawa-attributed coverage · High approval

Voters approve while the government remains in the attribution frame.

Scrutiny without electoral penalty: the public is tracking who's responsible and still extending support. The government owns both the problem and the solution.

Crisis with Cover

External blame · Low approval

Approval is low even though coverage offers an external villain.

The government has the cover to deflect blame, but voters aren't extending any polling benefit for it.

Government on the Hook

Govt. blamed · Low approval

Coverage and approval both moving against the government.

The most damaging zone: the government owns the problem and is losing public confidence.
