How hard is it to cancel The Globe and Mail?
The Globe and Mail scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the ca — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via phone, in-app.
Per The Globe and Mail Terms and Conditions, a periodic subscription 'will continue until it is cancelled' (auto-renewal default) and renewal fees are charged to the card on file. Cancellation of print and longer direct subscriptions requires phoning the Customer Solutions Centre at 1-800-387-5400 with 'no less than 28 days notice'; there is no online self-serve cancellation for direct print/digital subscriptions (App Store and Google Play sign-ups are cancelled in those stores). No refund is given for the current billing period and 'No refunds will be provided for amounts less than $5 CDN'; access continues to the end of the paid period. No EU-style cooling-off period applies (Canadian jurisdiction).

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
