About Parallel North
An independent weekly macro review for Canadians, and for anyone who wants to understand the economy from north of the 49th parallel.
Most market coverage in Canada starts in New York and gets to Ottawa eventually. Parallel North starts here. About half of what we cover is Canada: the Bank of Canada, jobs, inflation, housing, oil and the loonie. A quarter is the United States, and a quarter is the rest of the world.
Every Saturday we publish one long video on YouTube and one written review here, with links to every source. Between episodes we post short notes and one-chart Shorts.
How we make it
Each episode is researched from primary sources such as Statistics Canada, the Bank of Canada, the Federal Reserve and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. We write the script, build every chart from the data, and check each figure against its source before publishing. The narration uses a licensed synthetic voice.
