Plauste News was founded in Toronto in 2017 with a single conviction: that Canadian investors deserved the same quality of financial analysis available to institutional clients at Bay Street firms — without the conflicts of interest, the jargon, or the paywalled research that placed premium intelligence out of reach for most people.
We cover the markets, sectors, and financial topics that matter most to Canadian investors: the TSX, the Bank of Canada, real estate, cryptocurrency, tax planning, and the broader Canadian economy. Our editorial team of six journalists and analysts brings deep subject matter expertise and a commitment to independence that we take seriously in every story we publish.
Plauste is reader-supported. Our Premium subscription is our primary revenue model. We accept advertising, but our editorial decisions are made independently of our commercial relationships — always.
Six journalists and analysts. Combined experience of 45+ years in financial media, economics and investment research.
No conflicts of interest. Plauste journalists do not hold positions in the securities, cryptocurrencies, or assets they cover. All Plauste staff are required to disclose any personal holdings that might relate to their coverage area.
Clear labelling. News, analysis, and opinion are clearly distinguished. Sponsored content is always labelled as such. Premium content is marked with a ★ badge.
Corrections policy. When Plauste makes a factual error, we correct it promptly and transparently, noting the correction at the top of the article.
Not investment advice. Plauste is a financial journalism platform, not a registered investment adviser. Nothing we publish constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Always consult a qualified financial adviser before making investment decisions.
