Trusted Indie Newsers

Since I launched my online magazine CrankyYank.com in 2015, I've curated a list of "Trusted Newsers," and this is their starter pack. Most are independent journalists, with a few legacy-media reporter-pals that you should also follow 😎

Canadian Politics Independent Media (progressive)

Independent newspapers, magazines, podcasts with a significant amount of content on Canadian politics. Independent meaning not owned or influenced by massive companies or government. This list excludes outlets that I perceive as hateful, anti-science, or hard right.
