The short version
The Canada Report doesn't sell advertising. No display ads, no sponsored posts, no newsletter placements, no "partnerships." If you've landed here hoping to buy space or place a sponsor mention, the honest answer is: we don't do that, and we're not planning to.
Here's why — and how you can actually support the work instead.
Why we don't run ads
Most news sites make their money by renting your attention to advertisers. That arrangement quietly shapes everything: the headlines get louder, the pages get more cluttered, and the reader stops being the audience and becomes the product.
We didn't want to build that. The Canada Report is deliberately ad-free:
- No programmatic ad networks — nothing served by an ad exchange, ever
- No pop-ups, interstitials, or auto-play video — the page is just the story
- No data-harvesting ad-tech — no third-party scripts following you around the web
- No sponsored content or paid placements — nobody can buy their way into our coverage or our newsletter
This is rare, and we know it. Most sites that call themselves "premium" still run programmatic ads. We've chosen not to, because the moment coverage depends on advertisers, it stops being fully yours.
How the site is funded
Keeping a site like this running isn't free — there's hosting, the newswire we pull stories from, the tools that help us fact-check, and the fees for the Access to Information requests behind Government Files. We cover those costs two honest ways:
- Readers who chip in. The Canada Report is reader-supported. If you value clear, ad-free Canadian news, you can help keep it that way. Support The Canada Report →
- Canadian Guides. Our practical buying guides use affiliate links — if you buy something through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These never appear in our news coverage and never get emailed out. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the details.
That's the whole model. No advertisers, no hidden sponsors, no one paying to influence what we cover.
If you're a brand or organization
We're genuinely glad you like what we're doing. But we don't offer advertising, sponsored posts, link insertions, or paid partnerships of any kind — including the "just one little placement" kind. Please don't email asking to buy coverage; we'll only say no.
If you've got something Canadians genuinely need to know about, the same door everyone else uses is open: send it to us as a tip and, if it's newsworthy, we'll consider covering it on the merits — free, like everything else.
