TL;DR: We summarize Canadian news clearly, fairly, and responsibly. We rely on trusted sources, add context, use AI carefully, and always review stories with human editors before publishing.
These editorial guidelines explain how The Canada Report selects, summarizes, and presents Canadian news. Our goal is to help readers understand what’s happening across the country without overwhelm, sensationalism, or unnecessary spin.
We don’t try to replace original journalism. We help readers follow it more easily.
Our Mission
The Canada Report exists to make Canadian news more accessible.
We deliver clear, plain-language summaries of the stories shaping life in Canada — written like a well-informed friend catching you up. We focus on context, balance, and usefulness rather than speed or outrage.
Our coverage draws from multiple reputable news outlets, public documents, official statements, and regional reporting to reflect a broad range of perspectives.
How We Produce Each Story
Most stories on The Canada Report follow the same core process:
1. Source
We begin with trusted Canadian and regional news organizations, government releases, court filings, public records, and credible international reporting when relevant.
2. Compare
Key facts are cross-checked across two or more sources whenever possible. This helps reduce single-outlet framing and surface important differences in emphasis or interpretation.
3. Context
We add background, explanations, and plain-language breakdowns so readers understand not just what happened, but why it matters.
4. Link
Whenever possible, we link directly to original reporting, documents, or official sources so readers can explore further.
5. Review
Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publication to ensure accuracy, clarity, tone, and completeness.
How We Use AI
AI is a supporting tool, not a decision-maker.
We use AI to assist with:
- Draft structuring and outlining
- Clarifying complex information
- Improving grammar, flow, and readability
- Formatting and non-editorial tasks
We do not use AI to:
- Independently select stories
- Fabricate facts, quotes, or sources
- Publish content without human review
Every story is human-selected, human-reviewed, and human-approved before publication. Sensitive reader data is never fed into AI tools.
Editorial Independence
Editorial independence is non-negotiable.
Affiliate links, advertisers, or commercial partnerships never influence:
- What we cover
- How we write
- The conclusions we reach
Some Canadian Guides include affiliate links to support the site. These are chosen based on usefulness to readers — not commission potential — and are always clearly disclosed.
If sponsored content is ever published, it will be clearly labeled.
No Outside Influence
We do not:
- Publish fabricated or misleading information
- Accept undisclosed contributions or edits
- Allow outside parties to influence editorial decisions
- Modify articles for third parties without clear disclosure
Our responsibility is to readers, not advertisers, political groups, or institutions.
Corrections
Accuracy matters.

Reader Trust
We believe Canadians deserve news that is:

These guidelines exist to hold ourselves accountable — and to explain how we earn and keep reader trust.
