Canada, are you freaking out? Here’s something you can do about it.
If you answered yes, you are not alone. Democracy and civil dialogue are in retreat around the world. In the past few weeks, we have been forced into a tariff war, seen the death of diplomacy on live TV, heard threats of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States, and have felt ripple effects of axed international aid, public health, and immigration changes well beyond our borders. At best, these are confusing and worrying times. At worst, the future of civil society is at stake.
At The Walrus, we have never been more committed to fact-checked, paywall-free reporting on Canada. These are no ordinary times, and we need your help. Support The Walrus with a donation today so that we can continue to deliver independent journalism that responds to and makes sense of the most critical issues at hand.
