Northern Perspective

Northern Perspective is a Canadian media platform specializing in political commentary, with a primary focus on federal politics. It was founded by husband and wife team Ryan and Tanya in January 2023. The genesis of the channel began out of a desperate need to fund their son's expensive autism therapy, which became necessary due to the failure of the Ontario provincial government to provide adequate support. Initially operating under the aliases Cipher and Fox, Ryan and Tanya chose anonymity due to the growing impact of "cancel culture" and the chilling effect on free speech in Canada. They emphasized the dangers posed by radical leftist ideologies, which they argued were dismantling careers, destroying lives, and unravelling the fabric of society by suppressing dissenting opinions. Their anonymity also reflected a need to protect their livelihoods and family while starting this bold endeavour.

In June 2024, Ryan, who had previously enjoyed a long and successful career as a senior IT leader, lost his government job due to his continued involvement with the channel. Following this pivotal moment, Ryan and Tanya revealed their identities on camera, creating a significant stir within the Canadian political community on social media. Their story resonated with many, highlighting the sacrifices they made to pursue their mission of fostering a better Canada. Today, Northern Perspective is recognized as a trusted source for nuanced political analysis, particularly regarding Canadian issues. While the platform leans toward a conservative perspective, Ryan and Tanya are not hesitant to criticize the Conservative Party when warranted. They also commend the policies or actions of other parties, including the NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Liberal Party, when appropriate, showcasing a commitment to balanced and fair political discourse.

Overview

Northern Perspective operates across several digital platforms:

Facebook Page: The platform maintains a presence on Facebook at Northern Perspective, where it shares updates and engages with its audience.
Website: The official website, northernperspective.ca, serves as the hub for its content, offering articles, news updates, and links to other resources.
YouTube Channel: The channel, @NorthernPerspective00, is the flagship medium, hosting in-depth video analyses, interviews, and series
Social Media: The platform maintains a presence on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @NorthrnPrspectv, where it engages with its audience and shares updates.

History

Founded in January 2023, Northern Perspective has evolved from anonymous commentators to recognized voices in Canadian politics. Their journey—from overcoming financial hardships to building a platform that engages with political leaders and everyday Canadians alike—is a testament to their unwavering commitment to their cause.

Key Projects and Collaborations

Northern Dispatch: A notable series produced in partnership with True North, offering timely insights into current political developments.
Community Engagement: The platform emphasizes viewer interaction, frequently responding to audience requests and incorporating feedback into its content.

Leading by Example

A defining aspect of Northern Perspective's mission is to lead by example in fostering civic engagement. Ryan and Tanya actively participate in grassroots efforts by door-knocking alongside Members of Parliament, attending Electoral District Association (EDA) events, and supporting local ridings in their community. These activities underscore their commitment to a better Canada and demonstrate that they do more than sit behind a camera—they are deeply involved in the political process they discuss.

Their hands-on approach is intended to inspire Canadians across the country to take part in shaping their communities. By showcasing their passion and willingness to actively contribute, Ryan and Tanya aim to motivate others to get involved and work toward a better future for Canada.

Recognition and Impact

The respect Northern Perspective has garnered is exemplified by its weekly collaboration with the reputable news outlet True North. Together, they launched the show Northern Dispatch on True North's YouTube channel, where Ryan and Tanya provide insightful weekly commentary on the Canadian federal political landscape. This partnership highlights the platform's growing influence and credibility within the political commentary sphere.

Additionally, Northern Perspective stands out as the only independent YouTube podcast in Canada to host regular appearances by Members of Parliament, Canadian Senators, former politicians, and other prominent figures in the Canadian political scene. This distinction solidifies Northern Perspective as a unique and essential platform for fostering meaningful dialogue on Canadian politics.

Leadership

Ryan spearheads Northern Perspective with a hands-on approach, supported by his wife Tanya, who co-hosts the platform and plays a pivotal role in its strategic direction. Tanya’s contributions extend beyond the platform, including public speaking engagements, such as her appearance at the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA) gala in Ottawa.

Future Plans

As of late 2024, Northern Perspective continues to expand its reach, diversifying its content offerings.
