Beyond the newsletter
The City Hall Watcher apps
In addition to the weekly newsletter, City Hall Watcher publishes a set of tools for following Toronto City Council closely.
Council Scorecard
SubscribersA very nerdy resource, chronicling every major vote taken by Toronto Council and allowing for in-depth analysis of voting patterns and political alliances.

City Hall Watcher LIVE
Free for everyoneBecause you’re a rational person, you probably don’t want to sit through hours upon hours of Council proceedings to find out what’s going on. CHW LIVE has you covered. When Council sits, it’s a real-time place to get live updates. When the Chamber’s quiet, it’s a searchable archive of live coverage dating all the way back to 2011.

Election Projection
Free for everyoneA forecast of the 2026 Toronto municipal election that tracks every published poll and projects the likely outcome of the mayoral race — including how close it might actually be, measured against the margins of the last seven mayoral contests. Also covers all 25 ward races. Think Five Thirty Eight for the Four One Six.

Lobbying Report Cards
Free for everyoneA feature that shines some light on the shadowy part of City Hall. Find out who’s lobbied the mayor and councillors the most this term.
