The True North Times is a satirical online publication focused on Canadian politics and affairs. Its coverage features federal, provincial, and municipal news, as well as lifestyle and other features. Launched in early 2014, The True North Times has gained notoriety among Canadians with high-profile interviews, articles, and election coverage being referenced in reputable, national news sources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/07/11/sex-ed-edmonton-schools-religious_n_5578565.html )〕 In a departure from contemporary satire in Canada, The True North Times draws inspiration from The Daily Show in the United States, in that it does not write parody articles, like one may find in The Onion. Instead, it uses satire to comment on actual news stories, with the stated goal of using a more accessible style of reporting to reach otherwise apathetic voters, especially in the youth demographic. == History ==
The True North Times was founded in October 2013 by a small group of students at McGill University who saw youth political apathy as a problem and saw a gap in the media market, leaving room for an outlet that could be more accessible.〔 After building a team and finding writers, the publication itself publicly launched on February 14, 2014. In March 2014, The True North Times began a series of interviews with candidates for mayor of Toronto, in the midst of scandals surrounding Mayor Rob Ford. In April, the publication gained some notoriety for its coverage of the Quebec Election, often using mockery to express criticism against the governing party, the Parti Quebecois. In May 2014, they published an interview with the Honourable Elizabeth May, the leader of the Green Party of Canada.
