About Best Canadian Stocks

Best Canadian Stocks is an independent website about investing in Canada. Since 2022 we have published news, analysis, and guides on TSX-listed stocks, Canadian ETFs, and personal finance topics like the TFSA, RRSP, and FHSA — written for individual Canadian investors, not institutions.

Our goal is simple: give Canadians accurate, current, plainly written information so they can make better decisions with their own money.

Who runs this site

Best Canadian Stocks is run by Nick Raffoul, who founded the site in 2022 and is responsible for its editorial direction.

We are a small independent publication, not a bank, brokerage, or fund company. We are not affiliated with the Toronto Stock Exchange or with any company we write about.

How we work

Every article on this site follows the same process:

  • Primary sources first. Market and economic figures come from primary or clearly attributed sources — company filings and press releases, Statistics Canada, the Bank of Canada, canada.ca for tax and account rules, and named market-data providers for prices.
  • Every figure is dated. Stock prices, yields, and economic data change. That is why you will see “data as of [date]” qualifiers throughout the site rather than undated numbers.
  • Fact-check before publish. Each piece is drafted from a researched fact sheet and reviewed before it goes live; claims that cannot be traced to a source are cut rather than published. We use modern research and drafting tools, including AI assistance, under editorial review — the standards above apply regardless of how a draft starts.
  • We update rather than abandon. Evergreen guides are refreshed when data goes stale. News is published within the cycle it covers and labeled with its date.
  • Corrections. When we get something wrong, we fix the article. If you spot an error, please tell us through our contact page.

How this site makes money

Best Canadian Stocks is free to read. The site earns revenue through affiliate partnerships: when we link to a partner such as Questrade and a reader opens and funds an account through that link, we may receive a commission. This costs the reader nothing.

Two commitments on this:

1. Affiliate relationships never decide what we cover or what we conclude. Reviews and comparisons say what we actually think, including the drawbacks. 2. Pages containing affiliate links carry a disclosure so you always know when a link is one.

What this site is not

We think it is as important to be clear about what we are not:

Before acting on anything you read here, consider your own situation and, where it matters, speak with a qualified financial, tax, or legal professional.
