The Corridor Files
Le Guide parlementaire vous indique qui occupe un mandat. The Corridor Files vous révèle qui détient le pouvoir.
Un inventaire en constante évolution des personnes qui dirigent réellement la politique canadienne — directeurs de campagne, responsables de partis, sondeurs, collaborateurs politiques des ministres et la porte tournante du lobbying —, à qui elles rendent des comptes et comment elles sont liées entre elles. Les biographies des législateurs sont rédigées depuis 160 ans. Personne ne dresse la carte de la classe opérationnelle. C'est cette couche que The Corridor Files documente, en rassemblant les informations source une à une.
Tout commence à Ottawa avec les partis fédéraux. Ce projet est conçu dès le premier jour pour s'étendre à tous les partis, à toutes les capitales provinciales et, à terme, à Washington, Londres et Paris.
J'ai servi au Cabinet du premier ministre du Canada durant la crise financière de 2008, puis comme chef de cabinet au Sénat du Canada durant la pandémie de 2020. J'ai observé cette classe de personnes à l'œuvre depuis l'intérieur même des coulisses. Ce répertoire est construit à l'image des notes d'information : sourcé, structuré et susceptible d'être corrigé. — Joseph Soares

Chaque enregistrement est un fichier structuré comportant des champs fixes et une URL source pour chaque affirmation — le registre est conçu pour être exporté, représenté sous forme de graphiques et indexé, et pas seulement lu.
Méthodologie
Sources publiées uniquement. Aucun nom n’apparaît sans référence à un article de presse, à un registre public ou à un document officiel. Rôles et relations, et non personnalité — les affirmations relatives à la personnalité n’apparaissent que sous forme de citations attribuées provenant de sources publiées. Directeurs et cadres supérieurs : nous couvrons les hauts responsables et toute personne s’étant publiquement engagée dans une lutte politique ; les subalternes ne sont pas des personnalités publiques et ne figurent pas dans la liste. Approche non partisane : le registre s’ouvre sur le Parti conservateur car c’est là que se déroule actuellement la lutte pour la succession — l’appartenance à un parti est consignée comme un fait, jamais considérée comme une prise de position. Les simples citoyens ne sont pas pris en compte. The Corridor Files recense les acteurs publics de la vie publique — les personnes qui mènent des campagnes, dirigent des équipes et influencent les décisions — et personne d’autre.
Corrections
L’exactitude est le fondement de ce répertoire. Si une entrée comporte une erreur concernant un rôle, une date ou une relation, veuillez écrire à [email protected] en joignant un lien vers une source publiée. Les corrections vérifiées sont apportées au registre et signalées sur l’édition concernée dans un délai de 72 heures. Les fiches indiquent une date de dernière vérification ; toute information datant de plus de six mois est revérifiée avant toute nouvelle publication.
Feuille de route — présentée en toute honnêteté
Aujourd’hui : Ottawa — le répertoire conservateur (édition 001), avec les premières entrées libérales et néo-démocrates dans le registre. Prochainement : les éditions complètes des libéraux et des néo-démocrates, puis les capitales provinciales, à commencer par Québec et Toronto. Plus tard : Washington, Londres, Paris. La couverture ne sera revendiquée que lorsqu’elle existera effectivement.
