    The creators of Ground News are Canadian, so that tells me this Youtuber didn’t even do his homework. Also there are different versions that you can use: US Edition, International, UK, Canada, and Europe

      Not defending the YouTuber here. I’m just replying to the OP asking what critiques are out there, and this was one I came across.

      I still think their target audience is the US population, as with many digital products made in Canada. It’s a pattern I’ve seen constantly as a Canadian. Larger consumer base = more money.

      There are different versions yes, I see the Canadian version when I go on it. I will argue that the product itself is 100% born out of the polarization and decline of American journalism, and media conglomerates owning new organizations with business interests.
