How articles are researched
Articles begin with a specific question a reader in Canada might have. We gather information from primary sources wherever possible: published statistics, official documents, company filings, job postings, rate schedules and public data releases. We describe what a source says rather than extrapolating beyond it.
How sources are selected
We prefer primary and official sources over secondary summaries. Where a secondary source is used, we say so and link to it. We do not invent statistics, quotes, programs or sources. If we cannot verify a figure, we leave it out.
How information is verified
Facts, figures and dates are checked against the cited source before publication. Numbers that change over time — rates, prices, salary ranges — are dated so readers can judge how current they are. Articles that rely on data are updated or retired when that data changes materially.
How corrections are handled
Errors are corrected promptly and transparently. Substantive corrections are noted on the article. See our Corrections Policy for details and how to report an error.
Reporting versus opinion
Reported articles present verifiable information with sources. Opinion and analysis pieces present a point of view and are labelled as such. We do not present opinion as reporting.
Use of AI as an editorial assistance tool
Canada Worth may use AI tools to assist with research, organisation, summarisation or drafting. AI is an assistant, not an author. Everything published is reviewed, verified and edited by a person before it appears on the site, and the publication is responsible for the final text. AI is never used to fabricate sources, statistics, quotes or experiences.
Accuracy and transparency
We describe what we know, how we know it, and what remains uncertain. Where a topic involves money, employment, tax or legal consequences, we point readers to the appropriate official or professional source. See also our Disclaimer.
