National Post

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.
