Évolution≥ 5 ans entre les reçus
Au moins 5 ans entre le reçu avant et le reçu après. Les positions changent souvent authentiquement sur un aussi long intervalle.
Les règles
Comment les badges sont attribués.
Chaque badge sur ce site repose sur un critère public et objectif. L'étiquette est un énoncé factuel lié à des reçus précis, pas une opinion. Si un reçu est rétracté ou invalidé, le badge est retiré dans les 48 heures.
Niveaux de durée des volte-face
Chaque volte-face documentée porte un badge de durée qui quantifie le temps écoulé entre les reçus avant et après. Le niveau est calculé à partir des deux dates, pas déclaré, donc l'étiquette est aussi falsifiable que les reçus eux-mêmes.
Recul1 an à 5 ans
Entre 1 et 5 ans. Reconsidération substantielle, mais toujours un revirement au dossier.
Virage à 1801 mois à 1 an
Entre 1 mois et 1 an. Un revirement politique dans le même cycle de politique publique.
Revirement en semaine1 jour à 30 jours
Entre 1 et 30 jours. La position a changé plus vite que la plupart des cycles médiatiques.
Revirement en heuresMoins de 24 heures
Moins de 24 heures entre les deux reçus. Une contradiction le même jour au dossier.
Badges au niveau du député
FLIP FLOPTon: Négatif
Flip Flop
The MLA has publicly held two (or more) materially different positions on the same policy question, documented on the record.
Critère d'attribution
Two verbatim receipts on the same topic that directly contradict each other. Both receipts must be from the MLA's own mouth (Hansard, social media, published interview). Both receipts must be dated. The contradiction must be on a point of policy or factual claim, not tone.
CONSISTENTTon: Positif
Consistent
The MLA has maintained the same stated position on a tracked topic across multiple dated receipts, including under changed political circumstances.
Critère d'attribution
At least three dated receipts on the same topic, the earliest and latest separated by six months or more, all stating the same policy position. Receipts must include at least one from after a significant political change (election, leadership change, caucus shift).
UNDER REVIEWTon: Neutre
Under Review
A claim or receipt is currently being verified. Nothing is published until verification completes.
Critère d'attribution
A researcher has logged a potential receipt but either the source has not been archived, the transcript has not been confirmed against Hansard video, or the contradicting receipt has not been located. No flip-flop or consistency claim is made while under review.
RETRACTIONTon: Neutre
Retraction Issued
The MLA has publicly retracted a prior statement. The retraction is itself a receipt.
Critère d'attribution
A dated, public statement by the MLA in which they explicitly withdraw or correct an earlier statement, with the retracted statement identified. The badge is neutral: retractions are documented, not judged.
FORCEDTon: Négatif
Forced Retraction
The MLA issued a retraction after a documented external pressure event — public backlash, media scrutiny, a caucus disciplinary action, or a Speaker's ruling.
Critère d'attribution
Three receipts in the documented chain: (1) the original statement; (2) a dated pressure event (news coverage, opposition response, caucus censure, Speaker's ruling, or formal complaint filed); (3) the retraction, issued within 14 days of the pressure event. All three must be linked to primary sources. The badge describes sequence, not motive.
APOLOGYTon: Neutre
Apology Issued
The MLA has issued a formal public apology for a statement or action, either voluntarily or under pressure.
Critère d'attribution
A dated, public statement by the MLA in which they explicitly apologize for a specific earlier statement or action. The apology must be linked to primary source (Hansard, press release, social-media post, or video). The apologized-for item is identified. Whether the apology is accompanied by action is noted in context but not required for the badge.
DELETEDTon: Neutre
Deleted Record
An original post has been deleted by the MLA after it was archived. The archive copy is preserved.
Critère d'attribution
Original URL returns 404, or the post has been edited or removed from the MLA's own account, while an archive.org or archive.today snapshot predates the deletion. Both URLs are cited on the receipt card.
PENDINGTon: Neutre
Pending Verification
The MLA's record is still being compiled. No receipts have been published yet.
Critère d'attribution
The MLA page is live with public-record header information (name, constituency, party history, first elected) but no receipts have passed verification. The page renders with a visible note that receipts are pending.
