Big Eh Brother

Canadian Government Accountability Dashboard

Active
Since 2026
Canada
Open source: Yes

**BigEhBrother.com** is the home of **FedAccountability**, an independent, AI-powered transparency platform that tracks Canadian federal government spending, lobbying, donations, and parliamentary performance. It pulls everything from official open-data sources (43 government datasets and over 116,000 records) and turns it into easy-to-use dashboards, interactive Sankey diagrams for expenses, lobbying flow maps, political-donation trackers, MP scorecards, bill trackers, gas-price accountability breakdowns, and more. The name is a playful Canadian twist on “Big Brother” — the slogan on LinkedIn posts is “The government watches us. It’s time we watched them back. Big Eh Brother is watching.” ### When did it begin? The project launched **very recently** — in **early April 2026** (around April 2–3). The site was published on April 2, 2026, and the first public announcements appeared on LinkedIn about a week ago. It was built in just a few hours by Jason Heath (LinkedIn: Jason H.) using an autonomous **AI agent swarm** from wolfpack.army. No consultants, no big-budget team — just AI agents that researched, coded, aggregated data, and deployed the whole thing. ### Who’s it for? It was **built for Canadians** who want real accountability from their federal government. Anyone who wants to “follow the money,” see how MPs are performing on transparency metrics, or understand where tax dollars actually go can use it. It’s non-partisan, independent, and not affiliated with the Government of Canada. ### What impact has it had? Because it’s only about a week old, the impact is still emerging, but it has already: - Created **scorecards for all 340 MPs** across 12 accountability metrics (based on public records). - Visualized **$19.5M+ in disclosed MP expenses**, **100,000+ lobbying communications**, **$62.7M+ in political donations**, and thousands of parliamentary votes. - Aggregated data from **43 official sources** with quarterly refreshes. - Provided interactive tools like expense Sankey diagrams, lobbying maps, and department-level spending breakdowns (including $20.7B in annual consulting spend and potential AI savings estimates). It’s one of the first public showcases of wolfpack.army AI agent orchestration, turning open data into something citizens can actually use to hold politicians accountable.
