Globe and Mail

Political leaning and stance

The Globe and Mail's headlines are consistently critical of Donald Trump and the United States, with tariffs, threats toward Canada and legal setbacks foregrounded and the data reading the tone as critical but factual in most months, and sharper in some. Canada is covered neutrally and factually throughout. Prime Minister Mark Carney is treated neutrally for most of the period, with a skeptical stretch in the summer and a respectful but not uncritical one afterwards. Iran is treated critically where it appears. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.

Who owns Globe and Mail

What Globe and Mail covers

Canada and the United States lead by a wide margin, followed by Iran, China, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Russia. Economy and politics are the biggest shares, and diplomacy, much of it trade-related, is the largest single subject after economy.
