One hub per government
Federal, the provinces, the territories — each gets its own hub. Open one and the orientation is already done: the officials we track, tallied by party; the most recent bills in that jurisdiction; the committee meetings that just happened. A last-active date tells you whether this place is quiet or busy right now, and every line links into the bill, the official, or the committee behind it.
Honest framing: the party tally is a working roster of the officials Clarion tracks — not a certified seat count, and we say so on the hub. Clarion never asserts a house is "in session"; it shows a last-activity date instead — what actually moved, dated. Thin jurisdictions render what's there and stay quiet about the rest. It's a briefing surface, not the authoritative parliamentary record.

Every government, one shape
You shouldn't have to relearn a jurisdiction to read it. Every government renders to the same three-part shape — roster by party, recent bills, recent committee activity — so the federal hub and a territorial one read the same way. Pick a jurisdiction and the hub follows; nothing to configure.

What a hub pulls together
A hub isn't a new dataset; it's the bills, officials, and committees you already follow, composed into one orientation view per government. Open it cold and you know where you've landed.
The hub groups the officials Clarion tracks in that jurisdiction by their party, so the first thing you read is the shape of the room — who holds the floor, who's in opposition, where the independents sit. It's a working roster of the people we cover, drawn from our records — plainly labelled as that, never dressed up as a certified seat count.

Below the roster, the most recent bills in that jurisdiction — the number, the title, where it stands — newest first, so you see what's been introduced or moved without leaving the hub. Each one links into the full bill, with its text, its stage history, and the officials attached to it.

Recent committee meetings and activity round out the hub — which committees convened, on what, and when — so the working level of a government is visible alongside the headline bills. Each entry links into the committee, and the most recent one feeds the hub's last-active date.

Why last-active, not "in session"
Sitting calendars change, recesses move, a house can be technically sitting and doing nothing. So Clarion doesn't claim a government is "in session" — it shows you the most recent dated activity it has: the latest bill movement or committee meeting on the hub. A real signal you can read at a glance — is this place busy or quiet right now — without us asserting a sitting status we can't certify.
→Last active 2 days ago — a committee met and a bill advanced to second reading. Quiet for three weeks? The hub says so, and shows you the last thing that did move. No green "in session" light we'd have to defend.
Why it matters
Before you can act in a government you have to know the room — who holds it, what's live, whether it's even moving. The hub does that read in one view, for every jurisdiction, the same way.
Pick up a file in a province you don't live in and the hub hands you the room at once — the roster by party, what's been filed, what just met. The hours you'd spend reconstructing who's who and what's live, done before you read the first bill.
The last-active date tells you whether a government is busy or quiet right now — a real, dated signal, not a sitting badge we'd have to guess at. You read the pulse of the place; we never overstate it.
A hub is the door, not the dead end. The roster links to the official, the bill to its full text and stages, the committee to its meetings — so the orientation view drops you exactly where you need to go next, in one workspace.
Start free, pick a jurisdiction, and the hub composes itself — the roster by party, the latest bills, recent committee activity, the last-active date — with every line linking into the file beneath it. No demo gate to walk into a government.
