EDITORIAL POLICY

Evidence first. Limits made visible.

These standards govern how AI New Canada chooses, produces, labels and corrects editorial work.

Scope and purpose

AI New Canada focuses on Canadian AI policy and practical ways to use and check AI. Our job is to help readers distinguish durable evidence from launch-day claims and apply what they learn responsibly.

Sources and verification

Current-affairs coverage begins with a named primary source such as an official release, research paper, regulatory document or direct product documentation. Articles link to that material. Company claims, independent findings and AI New analysis are not presented as interchangeable evidence.

Publication and originality review

Only articles that complete an individual editorial, evidence and originality review are public. The review requires multiple directly relevant sources, a specific reader question, an article-specific structure, clear limits and a practical contribution that is distinct from other pages. Template-built drafts, thin briefs, unfinished experiments and near-duplicate query variations remain unpublished and are excluded from navigation, recommendations, feeds and the XML sitemap. Publication and modification dates reflect real editorial events; they are not changed merely to look fresh.

The reader promise

A headline, description and opening must agree about the question being answered. The opening should deliver the useful distinction or action promptly, without hiding it behind publication history, keyword-heavy scene-setting or an exaggerated claim. Each article must also contribute something specific: a worked example, decision framework, source comparison, limitation analysis or Canadian application that a generic summary would not provide.

Source roles and limits

Every public article shows the domain, label and editorial note for each cited source. The note states what the source contributes and, where necessary, what it cannot establish. A company document can establish what the company announced; it does not become independent proof of performance. A policy proposal can establish what is being considered; it does not become enacted law.

AI-assisted production

AI tools may assist with research organization, outlining and drafting. Automation is not described as first-hand observation, an interview or independent verification. The publication accepts responsibility for what appears on the site and discloses the production approach in every article.

AI assistance includes drafting and source comparison. The review label describes the publication’s article-level process; it is not a certification of independent expert review. Fictional exercises are labelled, and a worked answer is not represented as a measured test of a commercial AI product.

Recorded experiments

A recorded experiment must publish its input, method, executable source where applicable, actual results and limitations. Synthetic data must be labelled. Tests designed alongside an implementation are not held-out validation. Running a small program does not establish the performance of an AI model, a spreadsheet application or a production security system. Results must identify what was actually executed.

Headlines, images and context

Headlines should accurately represent the article and avoid manufactured urgency. Article images are illustrations or illustrative photographs and use descriptive alternative text; they are not documentary proof of the event. Dates and read times are displayed clearly.

Practical and consequential guidance

Guides explain processes and questions to consider, but they are not individualized legal, medical, investment or tax advice. Readers should verify consequential decisions with qualified sources and professionals appropriate to their situation.

Independence, conflicts and advertising

This owner-operated site is seeking advertising eligibility. A static seller declaration and ownership tag remain; no ad script or placement is active. Any future advertising must remain separate from article copy. Ads may not obscure navigation or be paired with language that encourages clicks. Advertisers do not approve editorial coverage. Paid or affiliated material, supplied access and material financial interests must be identified beside the relevant content. We do not invent endorsements, traffic figures, contributor credentials or institutional affiliations.

Updates and corrections

Material factual changes receive a visible note on the article. Minor spelling, formatting and clarity edits may be made without a note. Publication and modification dates are changed only when the editorial substance changes. See the full corrections policy.

Reader accountability

Readers can send a correction with the page URL, disputed claim and supporting evidence through the contact page. Our ownership, funding approach and current publication status are documented on the About page.
