Maple & Bay
Canadian business journalism has a depth problem. The legacy outlets paywall their good analysis; BNN runs headline-and-quote interviews while the wire services rewrite press releases and The Hub stays in the policy commentary lane. What’s missing in the middle is independent, accessible, analytical coverage of the Canadian companies, markets, and policy decisions that actually move the needle.
Maple & Bay is the newsletter we wanted to read and couldn’t find. Each issue you get one deep dive on the most consequential Canadian business story we can find, plus a brief on everything else worth your time: a take, not a summary.
What we cover
- TSX-listed companies: earnings, M&A, governance, strategic shifts
- Bay Street: banks, asset managers, capital markets
- The Bank of Canada, federal economic policy, and what they mean for businesses
- The Canadian tech ecosystem: from Shopify-tier scaleups to Series A
- Housing, energy, resources, and the macro stories the rest of the world watches Canada for
Who writes this
Maple & Bay is written and edited by The Editors, Maple & Bay. We are a small independent editorial team focused on Canadian business analysis. We do not accept placement fees, write favourable coverage for sources, or hold positions in the companies or instruments we cover.
How we work
Each issue is researched against primary sources: SEDAR+ filings, Bank of Canada releases, Statistics Canada data, earnings transcripts, and the best reporting from across Canadian and international press. AI tools assist with research and drafting; every issue is reviewed and edited before publishing. We disclose this because trust matters more than the workflow.
Corrections policy
When we make a factual error, we correct it. Corrections appear at the top of the affected issue with a clear note of what changed and when. We do not silently rewrite published content. Opinion and analysis may evolve as facts develop; when it does, we say so explicitly rather than pretending the original framing was always right. If you believe something we published is wrong, reply to any issue email or use the contact link below. Corrections reach the editors directly.
No paywall, no ads (yet)
Reading is free. We may run sponsorships once the audience is established, and we’ll be clear about it when we do. We don’t take placement fees, we don’t write favourable coverage for sources, and we don’t have an axe to grind for any side of any trade.
