Cedar Report

Marc-Andre Tremblay covers the technology industry and Canadian sport for Cedar Report. On the tech beat, he reports on Canada's AI corridor, the Shopify and fintech ecosystem, federal data privacy legislation, and the global tech stories that affect Canadian consumers and businesses directly. On the sports side, he covers the NHL, CFL, and Canadian participation in international competition - with a focus on franchise economics, salary cap strategy, and the business decisions shaping professional sport in Canada.

Marc-Andre grew up in Gatineau, Quebec, where he started writing about junior hockey for a bilingual community blog while studying at university. He graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa with a degree in Journalism and a concentration in Digital Media. After graduation, he spent three years at a Montreal-based tech outlet covering Quebec's gaming industry, aerospace innovation, and the growth of AI research labs tied to McGill and Mila.

He joined Cedar Report because covering both beats under one roof made more sense than pitching crossover stories to editors who did not care about both. His technology reporting has covered everything from the Sidewalk Labs debate to telecoms regulation and Canada's semiconductor ambitions. His sports writing is analytical - he cares more about why a GM made a trade than whether the trade worked out.

Marc-Andre is fluently bilingual and believes the best stories emerge when you cover the same country from both official languages. He has not purchased a physical newspaper in years but maintains that the format deserves respect.
