FactsCan (Facts Canada), established in 2015, is/was a Canadian federal politics fact-checker. As of March 7, 2019, their Facebook page indicates that it has gone "into indefinite hibernation." Because they have been run by a small volunteer team, they have run out of time and financial resources.[1]

It provided resources and analysis on statements relating to federal politics in Canada, and has signed the International Fact-Checking Network fact-checkers' code of principles.[2]

FactsCan has been covered in Canadian and international media and fact checked federal politics in Canada.[3][4][5][6][7]
