Canada, you need the facts.

Every year, hundreds of billions of dollars move through the Government of Canada's budget. This data is technically available but the information is difficult to understand and spread across PDFs and databases that most Canadians don't know about.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Canada Spends is a platform to make government spending more transparent. We take raw data and transform it into easy to understand facts for Canadians. We don't tell you what to think. We don't weigh in on whether spending is good or bad. We give you the facts so you can decide for yourself.
