A few things to keep in mind

  • Use primary sources for consequential claims.
  • Label illustrations and avoid guarantees or invented expertise.
  • Keep general information separate from individual advice.

Use sources that can be checked

Articles link consequential legal and financial statements to primary sources. Federal legislation supports legal provisions; official OSB, FCAC and CRA material supports guidance within those organizations' roles. Source records identify what a reference supports, rather than treating a government link as support for every sentence nearby.

A source check records what was available when the draft was prepared. It is not a promise that a rule or page can never change. Before publication and later substantive updates, time-sensitive claims and external links require review.

Separate explanation from assessment

Practical checklists are editorial suggestions for organizing a conversation. They do not calculate an individual's legal obligations or decide how a rule applies. Hypothetical examples are labelled and are not testimonials, case results or evidence of likely savings.

Provincial differences, secured-creditor rights, unusual debts and professional obligations need particular care. Where the available information cannot settle a question, the content directs readers to a relevant qualified professional or official source instead of guessing.

Be honest about authorship and commercial interests

The publication is owned by Collabo. No professional accreditation, expert review, service relationship or client result is implied without evidence. This publication does not arrange paid trustee referrals.

Titles and descriptions are written to describe the page's actual purpose. Keyword research helps identify language readers use; it does not justify unsupported promises or unrelated articles.

Correct material errors

A correction request should identify the page, the statement and any supporting official source. Use the publisher contacts on the contact page. Personal account records and identifying documents are not needed to report an editorial issue.

Publication dates record the first public release, not the date a source was originally written. A later substantive change should be identified by its actual update date. Professional credentials or reviewer credit are included only when the claimed role and review are established.
