Maclean’s Magazine engagement report
@macleans - 410K followers on X
Measured over 5 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 27, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 5 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 16 interactions against 410K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Posts are seen about 2.6K times each, and 0.604% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.647% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.17 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 5 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 127 interactions, about 7.9x its own typical post. Only 5 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 0% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 0% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 146 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

You can say one thing for Canadians: we’re stubborn. In the last year and a half, ever since Trump started bullying us like a pimple-nosed teenager from a John Hughes movie, we’ve quit the U.S. cold turkey, with Canadian travel to the States down by 42 per cent. Instead of flying south, we’re exploring the delights within our own borders. The only question is where to go. For that, Maclean’s surveyed our pool of writers about the neighbourhoods they love most. The result is both a portrait of a country bursting with urban development and an indispensable bucket list for Canadian summer travel. Instead of Nashville, you can visit Inglewood, a Calgary pocket packed with rowdy country music venues and grade-A Alberta beef. Instead of Seattle, there’s Lower Lonsdale, a waterfront wonderland accessible via Vancouver’s adorable SeaBus. And forget Brooklyn: Toronto’s still-gritty Davenport district abounds with delectable bites and twinkly patios to eat them on. The following stories are love letters to these places and more—destinations rich with excellent dining options, lush green spaces, vibrant streets and, as a bonus, no exchange rate to speak of. https://t.co/AlCQK6Lcim
