These guidelines explain how we gather, summarize, and present the news at The Canada Report. Our aim is to help Canadians understand what’s happening across the country without overwhelm or spin.


Our Mission

We deliver clear, engaging summaries of Canadian news — like a well-informed friend catching you up over coffee. We don’t replace the news; we help you follow it more easily.

We rely on multiple reputable outlets, public documents, official statements, and regional reporting to create balanced, easy-to-read summaries.


How We Produce Each Story

1. Source

We begin with trusted Canadian and regional outlets, government releases, court documents, public data, and credible international reporting when relevant.

2. Compare

We cross-check key facts across 2+ sources whenever possible to reduce single-outlet bias.

3. Context

We add clear explanations, background details, and plain-language breakdowns so stories make sense in the bigger picture.

We cite and link to our source material so you can explore deeper if you want.

5. Review

A human editor reviews every article for accuracy, clarity, and tone before publication.


How We Use AI

We use AI tools only to assist — never to replace humans.

AI supports:

  • Draft structuring
  • Outline creation
  • Grammar tightening
  • Non-editorial tasks like formatting

But every story is human-selected, human-reviews, and human-approved.
We never publish AI-generated reporting without human review.

We never feed sensitive reader data into AI tools.


Editorial Independence

Affiliate links and commercial partnerships never influence:

  • What we cover
  • How we write
  • What angle we take

Our Canadian Guides include affiliate links for transparency, but we choose products based on usefulness to Canadian readers — not commissions. Sponsored content, if ever used, will be clearly labelled.


No Outside Influence

We do not:

  • Publish fabricated quotes
  • Accept undisclosed contributions
  • Allow outside parties to edit stories
  • Modify articles for third parties without notation

Our loyalty is to the reader, not advertisers or political interests.


Corrections

If you spot an error, email us at info@thecanadareport.ca.
We fix material corrections quickly and note them when appropriate.


Reader Trust

We believe Canadians deserve news that is:

  • Clear
  • Balanced
  • Helpful
  • Easy to understand
