When you visit or use Canada Edition (canadaedition.org), you agree to the terms set out on this page. They describe your rights and responsibilities as a reader, and what you can expect from us as a publisher. Please take a moment to read them; if you have questions, you can reach us at the contact details below.
What do these terms cover?
These terms govern your access to and use of all content, features, and services on Canada Edition, which is published by Northern Beacon Media Inc. They cover intellectual property, liability, external links, disclaimers, and the laws that apply to any disputes. By using the site, you agree to be bound by these terms.
We also have separate policies that form part of these terms: our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data, and our Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies. Both are incorporated by reference. All policies are updated from time to time, and your continued use after a change means you accept the updated version.
What can I do with the content on this site?
All text, images, graphics, videos, and other material published on Canada Edition is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may read, share, and link to our articles for personal, non-commercial purposes, but you may not reproduce, distribute, or modify our content without written permission from Northern Beacon Media Inc.
If you believe any material on our site infringes your copyright, please see our Copyright & Takedown Policy for instructions on how to submit a notice. We take intellectual property rights seriously and will respond promptly to valid takedown requests. For permission to republish or syndicate our content, contact our partnerships team at partnerships@canadaedition.org.
What about links to other websites?
Our articles sometimes include links to external websites for reference or context. We do not control those sites, and we are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms. Clicking an external link is at your own risk. We recommend you review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
Canada Edition also includes affiliate links within some articles. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. These links do not affect our editorial judgment or the price you pay. All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
What if something goes wrong?
Canada Edition provides its content for general informational and journalism purposes only. It is not medical, financial, legal, or professional advice. You should not rely solely on our content to make decisions without consulting a qualified professional. We do not assume any liability for losses or damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
We take reasonable steps to ensure accuracy, but journalism involves interpretation and human judgment. If you find an error, please use our Corrections Policy to report it. Our fact-checking team, led by Standards Lead Andrew Leblanc, reviews all reports. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Northern Beacon Media Inc. disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding the site and its content. If you are dissatisfied with any part of the site, your sole remedy is to stop using it.
Which laws apply?
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising from your use of Canada Edition or these terms will be resolved exclusively in the courts of Ontario, located in Toronto. By using the site, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remainder will continue to apply. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Northern Beacon Media Inc. regarding your use of the site, superseding any prior agreements.
Who owns and operates this site?
Canada Edition is owned and operated by Northern Beacon Media Inc., an Ontario corporation (Ontario Business Registry number 1003194827). Our registered office is Unit 12, 95 King Street East, Toronto, ON M5C 1G4, Canada. The site is an independent digital news publisher with editorial independence guaranteed by our Editorial Policy. Our Editor-in-Chief, Catherine Roy, is ultimately responsible for all published content.
Funding comes from display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships, and content licensing. Sponsored or commercial material is clearly labelled, and commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. For a full breakdown, see our Ownership & Funding page.
How this works in practice
Suppose you read an article about residential solar incentives that includes a link to a government calculator and an affiliate link to a solar panel retailer. Under these terms, you understand that the government link is an external site we don’t control, and the affiliate link is disclosed. If the article contains a small factual error about rebate amounts, you can submit a correction request via our Complaints Procedure. Our Standards Lead reviews it, and if confirmed, we publish a correction notice. The article remains independent of any commercial influence from the retailer. That’s how our terms translate into everyday reader experience.
