The Peak Canadian Business News Briefing

Description:

The Peak Canadian Business News Briefing condenses the day's business and economic news for a Canadian audience into a short morning email and a matching website. Written in a brisk, conversational style, it takes deals, markets, technology and policy a few paragraphs at a time, and adds a podcast, a salary index and a section of puzzles.

Limits of the Free Tier Plan: The daily morning briefing is free once you give an email address, and the website's stories, the podcast and the salary index can be read without paying. A Peak Premium subscription removes the advertising and adds a weekend edition for subscribers, subscriber-only reporting, audio narration of long articles and the whole games archive.

Access: Free Tier Level: Advanced (C1-C2) Format: Podcast / Article Written for: Business English (for native speakers) English Variant: CAN

How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

Featured stories on the home page take one business idea at a time, such as brands replacing models with artificial intelligence or the state of public transit, each in a few short paragraphs. A Latest list below them runs through the day's items, and the menu leads to past newsletters, the podcast, the Water Cooler section, the Salary Index and the games.

How to use this resource:

You get a business story told in a few hundred words, short enough to read closely and note the idioms and wordplay Canadian business writers reach for. Read the briefing in the morning and then listen to the podcast on the same week's news. Because each item sets out the background before making its point, you can check whether you followed the argument.
