## About

The paradox of National Post is that Canada's youngest national paper was founded in 1998 to be the conservative counterweight to the Globe and Mail, a positioning that placed an explicitly right-of-centre voice at the centre of an otherwise centrist Canadian print landscape. Its beat covers federal politics, business, and culture, with editorial-page commentary that has remained consistently centre-right across ownership changes. The owner is Postmedia, whose financial pressures shape the paper's editorial reach.

- **Focus areas:** Canadian federal politics, business and energy, opinion and commentary, culture and identity debates


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
