Affiliate disclosure, in plain language.
Some product links on Canada News Media earn us a small commission. Here is exactly how that works, and why it never decides what we report.
The short version
Some links pay us
Links to Amazon.ca that carry our tag can earn Canada News Media a commission when you make a qualifying purchase.
Your price does not change
Amazon pays the commission. Buying through our link does not add anything to what you pay.
Our reporting stays independent
Commissions never decide what we cover or what we say about a product.
Full disclosure
The details
Amazon Associates Program
Canada News Media (canadanewsmedia.ca) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn commission fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.ca.
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
How commissions work
Some links on our site go to product pages on Amazon.ca and include our Associates tag, canadanewsm0c-20. The tag tells Amazon that you arrived from Canada News Media.
If you follow one of these links and then make a qualifying purchase, Amazon may pay us a commission. The commission is paid by Amazon, not by you, and the price you pay is the same as if you had gone to Amazon.ca directly.
Where you will see affiliate links
Affiliate links appear mainly in our shopping and product articles, such as our Amazon Picks and Trending Reviews coverage. Those articles carry a disclosure near the top so you know before you click.
Our product picks are researched from real Amazon.ca listings and customer reviews. When we have not tested a product ourselves, the article says so.
Editorial independence
Affiliate commissions do not influence our journalism. Just as our editorial decisions are never influenced by advertisers, government grants or political affiliations, they are not shaped by the chance of earning a commission.
Our news reporting is separate from our product coverage. You can read more in our Editorial Policy.
Prices and availability
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date and time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon.ca at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
