At The Canada Report, our goal is simple: make Canadian news easier to understand without watering it down. This page explains how we choose stories, how we summarize them, how we use AI responsibly, and how we keep accuracy and transparency front and centre.
We don’t try to replace traditional journalism. We help readers navigate it.
What We Cover
Our coverage is organized into four core sections:
- Daily News – a once-a-day snapshot of Canada’s most important stories
- Canadian Guides – practical, evergreen resources for life in Canada
- Deep Dives – longer, contextual reporting on major national issues
- Government Files – plain-language breakdowns of public records, policies, and decisions
Each section follows the same underlying standards for sourcing, verification, and clarity.
How a Story Comes Together
Most articles on The Canada Report follow a consistent process:
1. Story Selection
We monitor reputable Canadian and international news outlets, official government releases, public records, and data sources. Stories are chosen based on relevance, impact, and what Canadians are likely to care about—not what generates outrage clicks.
2. Source Comparison
Rather than relying on a single outlet, we typically consult multiple trusted sources for the same story. This helps surface differences in framing, emphasis, or interpretation and reduces reliance on any one narrative.
3. Verification
Key facts, figures, dates, and claims are cross-checked across sources whenever possible. When information is preliminary or developing, we clearly indicate that context.
4. Plain-Language Context
We rewrite stories in clear, accessible language. This includes:
- Explaining jargon and technical terms
- Adding background where needed
- Clarifying why a story matters now
The goal is understanding—not speed for its own sake.
5. Linking & Transparency
Whenever possible, we link directly to original reporting, documents, or official sources so readers can explore further or verify information themselves.
6. Human Review
Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publication to check for accuracy, clarity, tone, and completeness.
How We Use AI
AI is a tool, not a replacement for editorial judgment.
We use AI to:
- Assist with summarization and structure
- Help compare coverage across multiple sources
- Improve clarity, grammar, and flow
We do not use AI to:
- Independently choose what stories to publish
- Fabricate quotes, sources, or facts
- Publish content without human review
Humans remain responsible for story selection, source choice, editing decisions, and final approval.
What We Don’t Do
To be clear, The Canada Report does not:
- Publish fully automated or unsupervised AI-generated news
- Accept undisclosed edits from governments, corporations, or third parties
- Alter coverage in exchange for payment or influence
- Present opinion as fact
Our summaries aim to reflect the reporting—not replace it or distort it.
Original Reporting
Unless explicitly stated, The Canada Report does not conduct original reporting in the traditional sense. Our primary role is to synthesize, summarize, and contextualize existing reporting and public information.
When we do publish original analysis, explainers, or data interpretation, it is clearly labeled as such.
Corrections & Updates
Accuracy matters. If you spot an error or something that needs clarification, contact us at info@thecanadareport.ca.
- Minor corrections are made promptly
- Material changes are noted where appropriate
- Updates to developing stories are reflected clearly
Why This Approach
Modern news is overwhelming. Our methodology exists to help readers stay informed without doomscrolling, misinformation, or unnecessary noise.
We believe Canadians deserve news that is:
- Clear
- Balanced
- Transparent
- Easy to follow
That’s what we’re building at The Canada Report.
