''The Beaverton'' is a Canadian [[NewsParody parody newspaper]] website. It was founded in 2010 by two Queen's University alumni (Luke Gordon Field and Alex Huntley) and one University of Toronto graduate (Laurent Noonan). It parodies and satirizes multiple facets of Canadian life, but particularly Canadian politics. The site can be found on [[https://www.thebeaverton.com/ thebeaverton.com]]
In short, it's basically Canada's ''Website/TheOnion''.
In 2016 ''The Beaverton'' launched a TV series of the same name that aired on Creator/TheComedyNetwork and later Creator/{{CBC}}.
In 2017, they published the book ''Literature/GloriousAndOrFree''.
