Canada public data monitor Beta

About and Methodology

Maple Watch is an independent discovery layer for Canadian public data and public-interest records.

Maple Watch helps journalists, researchers, civic teams, and curious readers notice useful Canadian records across many public sources. It is designed for discovery, not as a substitute for the original publisher.

What Is Included

  • Government open data catalogues, public datasets, reports, consultations, and notices
  • Parliamentary material, accountability reports, committee records, and related public documents
  • Regulator, court, public safety, and public finance records where metadata can be monitored
  • International datasets and indicators when they contain Canada-specific or Canada-comparable records

How Records Are Presented

  • Records are grouped into topic watchlists using source metadata, titles, descriptions, and tags
  • Counts reflect the latest captured public snapshot and may change as sources publish or remove records
  • New and changed labels are monitoring signals, not claims about legal publication or policy effect dates
  • Every important use should be checked against the original linked publisher

Maple Watch is in beta. Source coverage, topic categorization, and metadata quality will improve over time, and some records may be delayed, duplicated, misclassified, or missing because public source metadata varies widely.
