This page outlines the terms that govern your use of Canada Scope (canadascope.org), an independent Canadian digital news publisher owned and operated by Northern Beacon Media Inc. We have written these terms in plain language to help you understand your rights and responsibilities when reading, sharing, or interacting with our journalism. Please read them carefully; by using the site you agree to be bound by them.
What rights do you have when you visit Canada Scope?
When you access Canada Scope, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to view, read, and share our articles for personal, non-commercial use. All content on the site — including text, images, graphics, and multimedia — is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or republish any of our content without prior written permission.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on Canada Scope in a way that infringes your rights, please see our copyright takedown policy for instructions on how to submit a notice. You can also reach our legal team at legal@canadascope.org. For more on how we handle your personal information, read our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
What about the information we publish?
All articles, analysis, and other content on Canada Scope are produced for general informational and journalistic purposes only. They do not constitute medical, financial, legal, or professional advice of any kind. You should not rely on our content as a substitute for independent research or qualified professional advice.
Our editorial mission is to deliver trustworthy Canadian journalism that helps readers understand complex issues. Every piece is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor, and fact-checked before publication. We use AI-assisted tools only to support research, drafting, or formatting — never to replace human editorial judgement. All editorial content is approved by a human editor, and we clearly label sponsored or commercial material. For more on our standards, see our Editorial Policy and Fact-Checking Policy.
How do we handle links to other sites?
Canada Scope may include links to third-party websites or services for your convenience or as part of our journalism. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any external site. When you click a link to an external site, you leave our platform and are subject to that site’s own terms and policies.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party sites you visit. Canada Scope is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of external links, including any reliance on information found on those sites.
Where do these terms apply?
These Terms of Use and any disputes arising from your use of Canada Scope are governed by the laws of Ontario and the applicable laws of Canada. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, located in Toronto. This means that any legal action or proceeding relating to your access or use of the site must be brought in those courts.
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Canada Scope regarding your use of the site, superseding any prior agreements.
How this works in practice
Imagine you read an article on Canada Scope about rising interest rates and the housing market. The article presents data from the Bank of Canada, quotes economists, and offers context on affordability trends. If you later decide to buy or sell a home based partly on that article, Canada Scope is not liable for any financial outcomes you experience. The article is journalism — not financial advice. Our editors and fact-checkers strive for accuracy, but market conditions can change after publication, and individual circumstances vary. This example illustrates the limitation of liability built into these terms: our content informs but does not replace professional guidance or personal due diligence.
