Two books published by Canon Press were found to contain significant portions of uncited work by other authors and were subsequently retracted and remaindered: Southern Slavery As It Was (1996), co-authored by Doug Wilson and Steve Wilkins^[5] and A Justice Primer (2015), co-authored by Doug Wilson and Randy Booth.^[6]

In 2021, the company said that its opposition to identity politics and COVID-19 pandemic restrictions allowed its workforce to be "free to work", and that it had tripled in size since 2019.^[1]

As a marketing initiative, Canon Press put up billboards across the United States in 2023 with the words "Christ is Lord" in bold white letters on a black background, along with a URL.^[7] The campaign was a promotion for Doug Wilson's book Mere Christendom,^[8] which one theology professor said promotes Christian nationalism.^[9]
