Political apathy in Canada is rampant. The True North Times has sprung up from the tundra to combat that very fact. We deal in Canadian political satire designed to engage the demographics that have a huge potential impact but are plagued by apathy. Our goal is not only to make Canadian politics accessible, it is to make it funny, to make it entertaining.
The Canadian political scene has never been more amusing. Scandals, politicians who are more ridiculous than cartoon characters and highly contested elections on the horizon, where there will surely be blunders and comedic moments. The True North Times exists to capitalize on those moments. We want to bring the absurdity together in one place, comment on it and make you laugh. Join us for a laugh in the wonderful world of federal, provincial and municipal politics. And remember, we make fun of everyone equally and all the time, so if you feel that your favorites are being mocked too much, tell them to stop being so damn funny.
