Ice-Cold
Intel

Canada's bullshit filter. Every story that matters — who's covering it, which way it leans, and whether the media is ignoring it entirely. Updated twice a day so you don't have to scroll through the noise yourself.

FREE FOR EVERYONE 🧊

No paywall. No ads. No corporate strings. Ice-Cold Intel stays free as long as I can keep it free — but the machine isn't. If you can spare $3/month, you keep it alive for everyone who can't.

We count voices, not logos. When 20 sites run the same story, that's often ONE newsroom copied 20 times. Here's every badge and meter on a card — top to bottom:

This whole machine is free — and I'm fighting to keep it that way. But 83 sources and the servers don't run on good vibes. $3/month keeps Ice-Cold Intel alive, independent, and ad-free for everyone. No paywall, ever.
