See all Left-Center sources.

Analysis / Bias

National Newswatch typically publishes news from other Canadian media outlets such as the Calgary Herald, CTV News, and the Canadian Press. The website is balanced in left and right-leaning sources.  National Newswatch also has an opinion page that publishes opinion pieces from other Canadian media outlets, and original pieces such as this Our Sense of Patriotism Has Changed. This op-ed slightly favors the left, while many republished op-eds come from right-leaning Postmedia sources such as the National Post.

In general, this website’s bias is very slight to the left, with most news reported factually.
