Canada Perspective, owned and operated by Northern Beacon Media Inc. (Ontario Business Registry company number 1003194827), relies on tips from the public to uncover stories that matter. If you have information about a policy development, a business story, a technology trend, or a cultural angle with Canadian relevance, we want to hear from you. This page explains how to share a tip, what we look for, and how we protect your confidentiality.
Who is responsible for handling tips at Canada Perspective?
Andrew Leblanc, Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, oversees the verification of all tips submitted to Canada Perspective. He is reachable at andrew.leblanc@canadaperspective.org or +1 416 555 0226. His team reviews every submission to ensure it meets our editorial standards before any reporting begins.
The editorial team also plays a role in triaging tips. The Managing Editor, Marc Tremblay, and the Provincial Affairs Editor, Jessica Morin, along with other editors, may evaluate tips relevant to their beats. For details on our verification process, please consult our Fact-Checking Policy and Sources & Standards page.
What makes a good tip?
A good tip is specific, timely, and rooted in Canadian public interest. Policy developments at any level of government, public-interest stories exposing waste or injustice, business news about major companies, technology stories with societal impact, and cultural angles that illuminate Canadian life all qualify.
For example, we welcome tips about proposed municipal zoning changes that affect affordable housing, provincial budget decisions with hidden implications, corporate mergers that could reduce competition, emerging surveillance technologies used by law enforcement, or community initiatives that reveal broader social trends. The strongest tips include concrete evidence such as documents, data, or firsthand accounts. We also value anonymous leads that point us toward a story we can independently verify.
How should I submit a tip?
Send your tip to tips@canadaperspective.org, newsdesk@canadaperspective.org, or press@canadaperspective.org. Include as much detail as possible: names, dates, locations, relevant documents, links, and your contact information if you are willing to be followed up.
You may remain anonymous if you prefer. We treat all submissions with strict confidentiality. Our editorial team will not disclose your identity without your consent unless required by law. If you have sensitive documents, you can use encrypted email or request a secure upload method by contacting our Standards desk at factcheck@canadaperspective.org.
What happens after I submit a tip?
Your tip is logged and reviewed by the editorial team within a few business days. If it aligns with our editorial mission and appears credible, it may be assigned to a reporter for further investigation. The Standards desk, led by Andrew Leblanc, then verifies sources, cross-checks facts, and ensures any claims meet our rigorous fact-checking standards.
You may be contacted for additional information or clarification. Not every tip becomes a published story, but we take every submission seriously. If your tip leads to a story, we will often acknowledge the source’s contribution according to their preference. For more about how we operate, see our About Us page and Our Team page.
How can I report a correction?
If you see an error in our reporting, please email corrections@canadaperspective.org. Our corrections policy outlines how we handle errors, including timelines for updates and the way corrections are noted in articles. We take accuracy seriously and will act promptly on verified reports of mistakes.
