Named for Champlain's navigational practice: reading current conditions to plot a course. Three formats. Weekday editions before the TSX opens with one story, one argument, carried through. Saturday deep dives on what broke Friday. Sunday spotlights on the equity or commodity the market is actively discussing. Strictly current. No recycled explainers.
No spam. No noise. Northern Bearing every Monday before the TSX opens. Traverse before the open bell Tuesday through Sunday. One story at a time. Canadian-first.
