Once, I was a regular reader of mainstream news. Even then, the worst articles I’d ever read came from the National Post. Then they started writing about issues that affected me — or worse, indirectly disparaging people like me and my friends.

I haven’t forgotten that.

On May 19, I read quite possibly the whiniest column they’ve ever published. That’s when it clicked: the National Post doesn’t deserve my outrage.
They deserve satire.

National Compost is a satirical publication. The articles, headlines, quotes, and characters found on this site are entirely fictitious and intended for comedic and critical purposes only. Any resemblance to real people, events, or news organizations (especially ones that rhyme with “Rational Ghost”) is purely coincidental — though let’s be honest, sometimes reality makes parody redundant.

The content is not intended to mislead or inform in the traditional journalistic sense. Instead, it exists to compost the political, cultural, and media narratives of the day — turning them into something occasionally fertile, frequently absurd, and always questionable.
