Three tenants say they were never told. City says notices went out. Somebody's records are wrong.

The story workspace — where the standard becomes software
Open any story and you get its claim ledger: every factual claim is established (you can show it), alleged (someone asserts it, attributed), or not yet verified. The file-ready gate holds until the ledger is clean — the same gate our own desk runs. No model reads your draft; the check is four rules you can recite.

The claim ledger (3)
The city approved the Vanier rent-freeze bylaw on March 4.
Three tenants on Marier Ave say they were never notified.
The notification contract went to a firm owned by a councillor's spouse.
That third claim — the contract — is the story. It's also unverified, so the gate holds. Which is exactly when you reach for the next tool…
The records-request drafter — FOI without the law degree
Canada runs on access-to-information law and almost nobody teaches a young reporter to use it. Pick the jurisdiction, describe the records in plain words, and the workspace drafts a correct request under the right statute — federal, any province, or municipal — with the fee and the response clock stated. You send it yourself, under your own name.
Access to information (1 drafted)
To the Access to Information / Privacy Coordinator, City of Ottawa — Office of the City Clerk Re: Request for records under the applicable provincial access-to-information statute Dear Coordinator, Under the applicable provincial access-to-information statute, I request access to the following records for the period 2026-01-01 to 2026-08-01: All records relating to the awarding and administration of the tenant-notification contract for the Vanier rent-freeze program, including the request for proposals, all bids received, the evaluation matrix, and the signed contract. Please provide the records in electronic format where they exist electronically. If any portion of a record is exempt from disclosure, I request that the remainder be released with exemptions severed, together with the specific provision relied on for each severance. If the scope of this request is unclear, or if it can be narrowed to reduce processing time or fees, I would welcome a call or email to discuss it before a fee estimate is issued. I enclose the $5.00 application fee. I look forward to your response within the statutory time limit. Sincerely, Amara Osei [your address or email for the response]
