LE SERMENT
La vision
Ce que Vigie est, et refuse d'être. Le serment avant la machine.
Vigie
Lookout for Quebec City. Not a priest of Truth. Not a party.
Vision
A Quebec City resident opens Vigie and sees what approaches their life — city → province → linked world — as claims with sources, contradictions held open, and impacts they can check (price, law, housing, trade, health, death). Not left/right. Not a truth-priest. A lookout that leaves judgment with the reader.
Mission
For Quebec City first:
- Aggregate — never invent the news.
- Use a finite, published source list.
- Tag: geography, topic, claim vs counter-claim, falsifiable impact.
- Publish the ranking method.
- Show contradictions side by side.
- Leave assent with the reader.
- Expand nesting only when that method holds.
- Name the rent (how the lookout stays alive).
- Record presence, measured: what each followed institution published and what our own collection missed, edition after edition — sealed, verifiable, never a verdict, never an inferred silence (
REGISTRE.md). - Serve the record before the page: the brief is one view; the register, the Markdown twin and the delta are the product.
Kill list (we will not sell)
- Unbiased / Neutral / Truth
- Inform the world
- Fight disinformation
- Left vs right as the primary axis
- Full Canada or full planet on day one
Niche (v0)
Quebec City — nest city → province (Quebec) → linked world (federal / Ontario / US / trade partners only when they hit Quebec City impacts).
