Where Canadian tech connects.
The Circuit is an independent tech publication for Canadians. Most tech coverage is written for an American audience, and Canada shows up as a footnote. We start from the other end: what a launch costs here, whether it's actually available here, and how Canadian law, Canadian carriers and Canadian companies shape the technology you use.
What we cover
- Telecom and internet: wireless and home internet pricing, carrier moves and CRTC decisions.
- Policy: privacy, AI regulation, online streaming and news rules, digital taxes and data sovereignty.
- Canadian companies: startups, funding, acquisitions and layoffs, from Shopify to the seed stage.
- Is it in Canada yet? Device and service launches, CAD pricing and feature availability.
- Cloud and AI: Canadian data centres, sovereign compute and how government buys technology.
The Daily Briefing
Every weekday morning we publish the Daily Briefing: the handful of Canadian tech stories worth your time, each with a short note on why it matters here. It's built to be read in under five minutes.
Our standards
- Every factual claim links to its original source: the filing, the ruling, the press release or the reporting outlet that broke it.
- Prices are in Canadian dollars unless we say otherwise.
- We don't accept payment for coverage. If that ever changes for a specific post, it will be clearly labelled.
- When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction at the bottom of the post.
