March 2015

Emily Landau looks back on two decades of life on antidepressants; Ken Dryden revisits Scotland’s referendum; David Macfarlane explains how Mavis Gallant died penniless in Paris; Lisan Jutras profiles Sheila Heti; Kaitlin Fontana visits the set of Schitt’s Creek; Naheed Mustafa details the marketing strategy of the Islamic State; poetry by Michael Prior and Don Coles . . .

Black and white illustration of two hands on a jagged black crack in the background. Text reads: "I have always been fascinated by the viscosity of the spaces between - between people - between ideas - between one person's understanding of any given word, and another's. Now that I have cancer, I exist entirely in the in-between spaces and it's hard to know - at any given moment -"

How’s The Walrus?

As the executive director, I am frequently asked this question. These days, I reply: “The Walrus was made for this moment.” From on-again, off-again trade news and negotiations to a new prime minister, we are committed to Canada’s conversations. We launched six regional bureaus earlier this year to ensure comprehensive coverage across this great country of ours. But we can’t do this alone. As a non-profit newsroom, this work isn’t possible without our readers’ support. If you believe in Canada’s stories, support our paywall-free journalism with a donation today.

Our team is small, but our commitment is big; just like our country. Every story we publish is the result of writers, artists, and editors going the extra mile (well, kilometres) to bring Canada closer together through compelling, fact-checked, and regionally grounded reporting.

Thank you for your support.

Jennifer Hollett
Executive Director, The Walrus
