What is a more respected conservative publication in Canada?


There is none, it's the most respected/widely read conservative publication. Calling Rebel News the Breitbart equivalent is more fair.

CBC is definitely left wing[1], with a bias towards the liberal party (centre-left). Globe and Mail is centrist[0].

The globe falls on the conservative side of things. The star is currently in a weird middle ground where it was somewhat left but it is being moved somewhat right by its new owners. CBC is reasonably neutral.

Highly partisan news is generally not respected for good reason though.


The globe used to fall on the conservative side of things, now honestly the Toronto star is more to the right than the globe. Both got bought by new owners in the last decade and it shows.


Interesting choice of words - hasn't it been shown, repeatedly, time and time again, that conservative-leaning publications are generally not respectable? You want a neutral publication, not one with a lean.


The Atlantic is a highly respected publication and an argument can be made that they are conservative in that they promote a kinda of neo con foreign policy through David Frum et al's work


Are there any, anywhere in the developed world? Le Figaro in France might count, but pracically every explicitly socially conservative media I can think of has had at least some suspicious events that have lowered or destroyed its reputation.

Be it Fox News lying and then claiming they're entertainment, not news, so they're allowed to lie; The Telegraph giving a soapbox to various climate skeptics and COVID deniers and having to retract them, or publishing flat out lies by folks like Boris Johnson; the Sun needs no explanation; Sky News Australia (same owner as Fox News) having a "Misinformation and conspiracy theories" section on their Wikipedia; etc.
