The North Holds — When We Hold It Together
Independent Canadian journalism doesn’t survive on its own. It survives because people like you decide it matters. For less than a coffee a month, you become part of something bigger than a news site.
Cancel anytime. No contracts. Your support goes directly to building a stronger, more independent HTN — including our goal of securing a CP Wire feed for real-time Canadian news.
Canadian democracy needs journalism that answers to readers — not to corporations, advertisers, or governments.
Hold the North was built on a simple belief: the news belongs to the people living through it. We curate, comment, and cover the stories shaping Canada with an independent lens that no advertiser can buy and no government can pressure.
We are a small team with a big mission. Every dollar from HTN Members goes toward making this platform stronger — better tools, more coverage, and eventually the CP Wire feed that will make HTN a real-time Canadian newsroom.
CP Wire Access
Our primary goal. The Canadian Press wire feed would give HTN real-time access to breaking Canadian news — the same feed used by major newsrooms across the country.
Emerging Journalists
HTN is a launchpad for the next generation of Canadian journalists. Member support helps us build a contributor program for writers who deserve to be heard.
Editorial Independence
No advertisers. No sponsors pulling strings. When you become an HTN Member, you are the business model — and that keeps us answerable only to you.
Building Toward Something Real
The CP Wire feed is our north star. It’s what turns HTN from a curation platform into a genuine Canadian newsroom — with access to breaking stories the moment they happen.
Every HTN Member brings us closer. This isn’t abstract — it’s a concrete goal with a concrete price tag, and your $1.99/month is a direct contribution toward reaching it.
Real-time access to The Canadian Press wire — the backbone of Canadian news coverage. HTN Members are building toward this together.
Hold the North.
$1.99 a month. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Just you, us, and the belief that independent Canadian journalism is worth fighting for.
