Canadian business news, without the wire-copy shortcuts

Most days, if you want to know what’s happening in Canadian business, you’re choosing between two bad options: a handful of national outlets who can’t get to every story because they’re covering the whole country from two newsrooms, or a wall of press releases and wire copy dressed up as journalism. The stuff that actually matters to a specific city, a specific industry, a specific small business trying to make rent — it mostly doesn’t get covered at all.

Canadian Business News exists to close that gap. We cover the big national stories — rate decisions, the TSX, federal investment policy — with the same seriousness as anyone else. But we also go looking for the stories that don’t make it past the first cut anywhere else: a 45-year-old restaurant closing its doors in Montreal, a mining project in the Northwest Territories, what’s actually happening to small manufacturers outside the big cities.

We write everything in our own words, straight from real, verified reporting — never a repackaged press release, never a fact we can’t trace back to a source. If we can’t confirm something, we say so instead of guessing. That’s not a marketing line; it’s the actual editorial standard our writers work under, and you can read the details on our Editorial Policy page.

What we cover

Markets and the TSX, the economy and the Bank of Canada, real estate from national housing policy down to neighbourhood condo markets, investment and venture capital, and regional business across the country — plus Business News and in-depth Commentary for the stories that need more than a straight report.

Who’s behind it

A small team of writers, each with their own beat and their own way of reading a story. Meet them on our Masthead page.
