Between elections, BeforeYouVote.ca remains here to help Canadians find trusted independent political coverage.
BeforeYouVote.ca relies on a growing ecosystem of Trusted Media Outlets—smaller, non-mainstream outlets that cover Canadian politics through long-form video, live streams, and podcasts on platforms like YouTube, X, Facebook, and Instagram. These aren’t random links; they’re channels we’ve watched over time and selected because their work consistently engages with primary-source material and can be cross-checked against official records, committee transcripts, and other reliable sources.
We have included CPAC as part of our trusted media outlets for their vast non-partisan coverage of political events.
When you click on a channel, you’ll go to a dedicated page that includes more detail about who they are, where to follow them, and a small set of curated clips from their video library—hand-selected for their clarity and relevance on key issues—so you can quickly see how they cover the topics and candidates that matter most to you as a voter. While listing a channel is not a blanket endorsement, it does reflect that we’ve invested time in understanding their content and found it useful for Canadians who want to look beyond state-funded and legacy media when forming their own opinions.
