The Halifax Examiner is an online newspaper based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was founded in 2014 by Tim Bousquet, former news editor of The Coast alternative weekly paper. Bousquet, known for covering local politics and undertaking long-term investigations and media analysis, describes the outlet as an "independent, adversarial news site devoted to holding the powerful accountable".{{cite news|last1=Davies|first1=Geoff|title=Will Haligonians open their wallets for Tim Bousquet’s paywalled news site?|url=http://www.j-source.ca/article/will-haligonians-open-their-wallets-tim-bousquet%E2%80%99s-paywalled-news-site|work=Canadian Journalism Project|date=18 June 2014|access-date=5 October 2016|archive-date=6 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161006051638/http://www.j-source.ca/article/will-haligonians-open-their-wallets-tim-bousquet%E2%80%99s-paywalled-news-site|url-status=live}}
