Hansard Files: Digging Past the Headlines on Parliament Hill
The Story: I started Hansard Files because I was frustrated. Like many Canadians, I found myself reading headlines that relied on spin rather than substance. I constantly wondered what was actually said in the House of Commons versus what made the evening news clip.
By day, I work in the insurance industry analyzing risk, cancellation rates, and complex policy wordings. My entire professional life is built on reading the fine print and understanding technical definitions that others overlook.
I realized that this same forensic attention to detail was missing from our political discourse.
