Is National Post left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
National Post is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Canada's press. In Canada, CBC News and Toronto Star are listed as Left-leaning, while The Globe and Mail and CTV News are listed as Centrist — so you can open National Post beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read National Post beside another title from Canada and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Canada covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are National Post's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because National Post is listed as right-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a left-leaning title from Canada on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
