Editorial signature

Now a monthly after retreating from weekly print, the magazine's editorial DNA is the long-form political profile and the annual university rankings, with Paul Wells's Ottawa columns long setting the tone of federal-politics coverage. Recent years have seen heavy retrenchment under St. Joseph ownership, with most original reporting concentrated on federal leadership races, the Emergencies Act inquiry and Canada-US trade rather than daily news.
