The Canada Scope Briefing is designed to fit into your morning routine without adding noise. This page explains what the newsletter contains, how often it lands in your inbox, who puts it together, and how you can subscribe — so you know exactly what to expect before signing up.
What does the Canada Scope Briefing contain?
Each edition delivers a curated selection of essential Canadian news and explainers, covering politics, business, technology, world affairs and public-interest stories. The goal is to help you understand complex issues without spin or oversimplification.
Every item in the briefing is drawn from articles on Canada Scope (canadascope.org) that have been written by a named journalist, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. You get the same standard of trustworthy journalism that guides the main site, condensed into a format you can read in minutes. The briefing does not rehash headlines — it provides context, explains why each story matters and points you to deeper coverage when you want it.
How often does it arrive?
The Canada Scope Briefing is sent daily, with special editions when major stories break or important context is needed. You can expect consistency without overload — just the news that matters, delivered to your inbox on a predictable schedule.
Special editions might cover federal budgets, election nights, supreme court rulings or other significant events where timely context is critical. These editions follow the same editorial process as the daily briefing and are always reviewed by a human editor before sending.
Who curates the newsletter?
The newsletter is curated by the full editorial team at Canada Scope, led by Editor-in-Chief Catherine Roy. Each edition is reviewed by a human editor before it goes out, ensuring the same standards that apply to every article on the site.
Managing Editor Marc Tremblay oversees the daily newsroom and headline review. Hannah Walsh, Politics & Public Affairs Editor, and Jessica Morin, Business & Economy Editor, contribute regular selections and context from their beats. Kevin Sullivan, Culture & Society Editor, and Andrew Leblanc, Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, also feed into the briefing when their areas are relevant. You can meet the full team on our team page.
How this works in practice
A concrete example: when the federal budget is released, the Canada Scope Briefing does not simply link to the budget document. It includes a short explainer on key measures, a breakdown of what changed from the previous year and links to analysis from Hannah Walsh and Jessica Morin. The edition is reviewed by Marc Tremblay before it reaches your inbox at 6 a.m. Eastern. That is the kind of practical, grounded coverage you can expect every day — context you can use, not just headlines you have already seen.

What about sponsorship and privacy?
