Less bad news in search
An updated or unpublished story stops leading with old facts when people search your name.
We ask Canadian editors, in English or French, to update or unpublish unfair stories, and use press councils when they say no.
Where Canadian news stories show up
Some Canadian newsrooms review requests about old stories.
A calm request with proof, in the paper's own language.
A council or ombudsman can review a fair complaint.
Send us a link to the story, in English or French, and tell us what has changed. We will reply within one business day.
In Canada, an old story can sit at the top of Google long after the facts change. Canada does not have a full "right to be forgotten" law, but many newsrooms will update or review old stories, and press councils and ombudsman offices hear fair complaints. We use those routes for you.
We only ask for changes to stories that are false, outdated, or share private details. We never threaten journalists, and we never try to hide fair reporting on public matters.
Clients and partners in Canada often check your name before a meeting. An old story can close doors before you know they were open.
An updated or unpublished story stops leading with old facts when people search your name.
Clients and partners run background checks. A fair record helps them say yes.
Your community and your industry should judge you on who you are today.
False stories can affect loans and contracts. Fixing them lowers that risk.
Canada has its own press councils, two official languages, and newsrooms with their own rules. These are the routes we use.
Stories that left out how a case ended, or got the facts wrong.
How we do itA request to the editor, with proof attached
Some newsrooms review requests to remove a name or a story, often for old, minor matters.
How we do itThe paper's own policy for old stories
If a paper won't fix a clear error, a press council or ombudsman can review it.
How we do itThe National NewsMedia Council, Quebec's council, or CBC's ombudsman
Canadian law limits naming young people in youth criminal cases. A story that does may need fixing.
How we do itA notice to the editor, with your lawyer
After a story changes, Google can still show the old headline for a while.
How we do itGoogle's refresh outdated content tool
When a story is fair and stays, we help true, positive results rank above it.
How we do itOur suppression service, with honest content only
Accurate reporting on public matters is protected in Canada, and several provinces have laws against weak legal threats to silence the press. Rules on removing search results are still being worked out. If a fair story stays, we push it down instead.
We have no special deal with any newspaper. Each one has its own complaints route, and we follow it. We also help with CTV, Global News, the Winnipeg Free Press, and others.
Has an independent ombudsman who reviews complaints about its journalism.
A national paper that publishes corrections. Requests need clear proof of the error.
A large city paper whose stories are often shared with its sister papers in Ontario.
The National Post, Vancouver Sun, and Montreal Gazette share one owner, so stories can repeat.
French-language papers like La Presse. Complaints can also go to Quebec's press council.
Many smaller papers belong to the National NewsMedia Council, which hears complaints.
Six clear steps. At each one, you know what we are doing and what you will get.
You send the link. We note what is false, old, or missing.
You getA free news article check
We look up the paper's policy on corrections and old stories, and its press council.
You getThe right contact and route
Court records, a record suspension, or letters that show what really happened.
You getA tidy evidence file
A short, polite request in English or French, based on the paper's policy.
You getA copy of every request sent
If the paper says no, we take a fair complaint to its press council or ombudsman.
You getUpdates as things move
We check Google and other sites for copies, and push down anything fair that stays.
You getAlerts and a monthly report
A French-language news site reported that a Montreal shop owed a large debt. The amount was wrong, and an English site copied the story.
We sent the editor the court papers showing the real amount, in French.
The site fixed the amount and added a correction note. The English copy was updated to match.
A Reddit thread linked to the story. It stayed, but the link now led to the corrected version.
This is an example to show how we work. It is not a real client.
| Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| French news story | Wrong amount | Corrected by the editor |
| English copy | Old version | Updated to match |
| Reddit thread | Linked the old story | Stayed, now links the fix |
| New stories | Nobody watching | Alerts when they appear |
An old story can feel like it defines you. Here is what working with us feels like.
One contact who knows your story and answers your questions.
If a story is fair and likely to stay, we tell you, and offer other help.
You always know who we contacted and what they said.
You can write to an editor yourself. Here is why many Canadians still ask us to help.
Your case details stay with the small team working on them.
We use editors, press councils, and Google's own tools. No shortcuts and no tricks.
A national paper and a small community paper need very different requests.
We write to Quebec outlets in French and to others in English.
We know how Canadian newsrooms, councils, and search engines work.
We keep watching for copies after the work is done.
When a paper unpublishes a story, it is usually gone from that site for good. An update stays on the story too. But copies can appear on other sites, so we keep checking and deal with each one.
Stories with wrong facts, stories that never said how a case ended, stories that name a young person in a youth case, and old stories about minor matters. A fair, recent story on a public matter is much harder, and we will tell you so.
Yes, when it is done the right way. Asking an editor for a correction, using a press council, or asking Google to refresh an old result are all open to everyone. We never use threats or tricks.
Yes. Big outlets have their own correction processes and policies for old stories, and we follow them. They decide what changes on their site, so we cannot promise a result.
Yes. Smaller papers are often the quickest to update a story, and many belong to a press council that hears complaints.
No, and nobody honestly can. The editor, press council, or search engine decides. We promise an honest check, a strong request with proof, and clear updates.
No. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. For a record suspension or a defamation claim, we suggest you speak to a lawyer, and we can work alongside them.
