Add blog post on tracking Canadian legislation with Git and LEGISinfo

[mlhamel]

Summary

Adds a new technical article to the blog: "Law as Code: Tracking Canadian Parliamentary Bills with Git and LEGISinfo" (content/blog/tracking-canadian-legislation-with-git/index.md).

This post introduces the concept and architecture behind civican/legisinfo,
which transforms open data from the Parliament of Canada into a version-controlled Git repository where every commit is authored by the Member of Parliament or Senator responsible for each stage and iteration of a bill.

Key Highlights & Topics Covered

• Law as Versioned Source Code:
  • Mapping the legislative lifecycle (First Reading → Second Reading → Committee Amendments → Third Reading → Royal
    Assent) directly onto Git commits with normalized Markdown text (bill_text.md).
• Politicians as Git Commit Authors:
  • Programmatically setting commit authors to MPs and Senators with their official parliamentary emails and exact
    legislative event timestamps.
• git diff for Democratic Transparency:
  • Real-world diff analysis of Bill C-11 demonstrating how clauses, exceptions, and deletions ([*Deleted*]) can be
    identified in seconds.
• Civic Analytics with Standard Developer Tooling:
  • Using git log --author, git blame, and GitHub's visual diffing UI to audit statutory changes without
    specialized legal software.
• Cross-Referencing with Lobbying Data:
  • Correlating bill revisions in civican/legisinfo with lobbyist communications in civican/lobbycanada via
    civican-schemas and ConnectRPC.
