20 years ago, I came across a magazine with a striking cover photo of a harbourfront. The headline grabbed my attention: “Inside Paul Martin’s Empire.” He had just become our prime minister, so what better way to educate myself? It turns out the magazine I brought home that day was a copy of the first ever issue of The Walrus.
Two decades have passed since then. The world has changed, but I know one thing remains constant: every time The Walrus lands in my mailbox, I know I’m in for a stimulating and absorbing intellectual trek. I donate to The Walrus to ensure they continue to keep the conversation in Canada fresh and interesting without lowering the bar. Consider doing the same if you also believe in this kind of work.

Reader, Toronto
Did you know it can take more than 20 hours to fact-check a feature at The Walrus? That’s because our team verifies each and every statement in a given story, not just the ones that look suspicious or require new reporting. The fact-checking team reaches out to interviewed sources and relevant experts and consults gathered research to get all the facts straight.
This is what sets The Walrus apart from many other journalism organizations, which are often battling the fast-paced demands of the modern 24/7 digital newscape. But our measured, thoughtful, and methodical fact checking wouldn’t be possible without the support of readers like you.
Make a donation to The Walrus today to support the important work of our fact checkers. Your gift will ensure we can continue to provide trusted independent Canadian reporting and storytelling for many years to come.
With thanks,
Claire Cooper
Managing Editor, The Walrus
