How We Source Our Reporting
We prioritize primary and attributable sources, including Government of Canada departments and agencies, provincial and territorial governments, municipalities, regulators, legislation, court records, public data, company announcements and direct statements. When a reliable primary source is available, we aim to link to it so readers can review the underlying material themselves.
Independence
CTC News is not a federal, provincial, territorial or municipal government agency and is not affiliated with the organizations we cover. Advertising, sponsorships and commercial relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions.
Automation And AI
We may use automation and AI-assisted tools to monitor public sources, organize information, draft or format material, and support publishing workflows. AI-generated text is not treated as a source. Material factual claims should remain traceable to identifiable evidence, and published information may be updated or corrected when new evidence becomes available.
