Our Team

People build trust. The Learning Bull is powered by editors, reporters, analysts, product builders, and data scientists who care about clarity as much as accuracy. This page introduces how our newsroom is organized and how you can find the people behind the bylines.

Masthead

Our masthead lists the leaders responsible for coverage, standards, product, and operations. Titles may evolve as our products grow, yet the core accountability remains the same.

You will find names and contact emails for each role on the live masthead. We update that list when responsibilities change so you always know who is accountable.

Authors Index, A to Z

Our Authors Index gives you a clean way to find every writer and editor. Browse alphabetically or filter by beat, ticker, topic, or province. Each profile card shows a short bio, current role, recent stories, and disclosure notes when relevant. You can also search by company symbol to see who has covered it most.

Individual Author Pages

Every byline links to a dedicated author page. These pages are generated from our newsroom system and updated automatically when a story is published or corrected.

Each author page includes the following.

  • Bio and areas of focus
  • Recent articles and research notes with time stamps
  • Data features the author maintains, such as ETF scorecards or dividend trackers
  • Disclosures about financial holdings when coverage overlaps
  • Corrections attached to the author’s work with links to our public log
  • Methodology notes for recurring features
  • Contact options and social links as provided by the author

We believe this level of visibility builds trust. It also makes it easier to follow the voices you rely on for Canadian personal finance and investing coverage.

Bureaus and Offices

We operate from a Canadian head office with reporters and editors working across major hubs. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and Ottawa are common bases for our coverage. We use a distributed model that lets us hire talent where it lives while staying close to the stories that matter.

Our desks collaborate across time zones so breaking news, earnings, policy moves, and market analysis reach you when they matter.

Desks and Beats

  • Markets Desk
    Stocks, funds, ETFs, bonds, GICs, and multi asset strategies. Earnings, guidance changes, dividend policy, and valuation.
  • Personal Finance Desk
    Budgeting, debt management, loans, credit, TFSAs, RRSPs, taxes at a high level, and retirement planning for Canadians.
  • Crypto Desk
    Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, Web3, DeFi, and Canadian regulation.
  • Economy and Business Desk
    Inflation, Bank of Canada policy, labour markets, corporate strategy, fintech, AI, startups, and IPOs.
  • Data and Research Desk
    Company deep dives, models, backtests, and methodology stewardship.
  • Standards Desk
    Ethics, independence, fact checking, corrections, and training.

Contributors and Freelancers

We work with experienced freelancers and subject matter contributors. Assignments are commissioned by editors and follow the same standards on disclosures, conflicts, and fact checking as staff work.

Pitches should describe the thesis, why it matters now, and the data or documents that support it. Send pitches to the relevant desk editor listed on the masthead.

Training and Development

Editors run regular training on filings analysis, earnings call verification, risk language, charts that reduce ambiguity, and the responsible use of AI tools.

New staff receive a handbook that includes our Unnamed Sources Policy, trading rules, accessibility guidelines, and stylebook. Refresher sessions happen quarterly with examples from our own work.

Disclosures and Conflicts

Authors must disclose material financial interests that overlap with coverage. When disclosure is relevant, it appears on the article and on the author page. Editors reassign stories when a conflict cannot be managed.

Staff follow our trading rules that limit activity around publication windows. Independence protects readers, which is why we enforce these rules consistently.

Corrections and the Public Log

Mistakes happen in journalism. We fix them in public. The Corrections Log lists every correction with the article headline, URL, what changed, and the date of the change.

Author pages link to any corrections on that author’s work. Our Standards and Ethics Editor audits the log for patterns and shares learnings with the newsroom.
