A standalone directory of Canadian independent media, YouTubers, commentators, public socials and public contact routes PBC watches for story leads. These sources help find stories early; PBC still source-checks important claims before publishing them as proven.
These are lead sources and commentators PBC has used or monitors. The cards include the public channel route and any public socials/website routes currently known in the local source desk.
