Who are we?
True North Brief (truenorthbrief.com) is an independent Canadian digital news and briefing publisher owned and operated by Great Lakes Press Ltd., a federal corporation (Corporations Canada company number 1478293-6). We deliver clear, practical coverage of Canadian news, politics, business, markets, technology and public-interest stories for English-speaking readers in Canada and internationally. Every article is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. Our editorial mission is trustworthy Canadian journalism that helps readers understand complex issues without spin or oversimplification. AI-assisted tools may support research or drafting but never replace human editorial judgement; every piece is approved by a human editor.
What do we cover?
We cover Canadian news and politics, business and markets (including TSX and commodities), technology policy, and public-interest stories that affect Canadians. Our reporting focuses on explanation and context—helping you see how a federal budget, a central bank rate decision, or a merger between two Canadian companies fits into the bigger picture. We also produce regular briefings on major policy debates, election campaigns, and regulatory changes. Each piece is structured to give you the key facts, the background, and the implications in a format that respects your time. We do not chase breaking news for its own sake; we aim to be the source you turn to when you want to understand what just happened and why it matters.
How do we work?
Every article on True North Brief begins with a named writer who reports and drafts the piece. That draft is reviewed by an editor for accuracy, clarity, and tone, then forwarded to our fact-checking team. Rachel Miller, Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, oversees source verification and corrections. Once all checks are complete, a human editor—typically Daniel Campbell or Sarah Mitchell—gives final approval. No AI tool ever substitutes for editorial judgement, and no piece is published without a named human author and editor. We publish our editorial standards in detail on our Editorial Policy page, and our fact-checking procedures on our Fact-Checking Policy page.

What you can expect from us
You can expect named, accountable journalism. Every story carries the byline of the journalist who wrote it and the editor who reviewed it. You can expect corrections to be handled transparently: we publish a notice on the article itself and log it in our corrections archive. You can expect clear labeling of sponsored content and affiliate links. Commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. Our funding comes from display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships, and content licensing—all disclosed on our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure and Ownership & Funding pages. You can expect that we will not fabricate quotes, sources, interviews, bylines, author experience, or expert profiles, and that AI tools are used only as aids under human oversight.
