Secure the future of storytelling.

For 20 years, The Walrus has been home to Canada’s most important stories. But with the rise of artificial intelligence and the proliferation of misinformation, it’s getting harder to distinguish fact from fiction.

Here at The Walrus, we are committed to raising the voices of real human storytellers and providing access to conversations that matter. Donate today to secure tomorrow’s journalism. Your support will ensure that we can continue to tell Canada’s stories, now and for many years to come.

Hey, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed these stories.

Before you go, did you know that The Walrus is a registered charity? We rely on donations and support from readers like you to keep our journalism independent and freely available online.

When you donate to The Walrus, you’re helping writers, editors, and artists produce stories like the ones you’ve just read. Every story is meticulously researched, written, and edited, before undergoing a rigorous fact-checking process. These stories take time, but they’re worth the effort, because you leave our site better informed about Canada and its people.

If you’d like to ensure we continue creating stories that matter to you, with a level of accuracy you can trust, please consider becoming a supporter of The Walrus. I know it’s tough out there with inflation and rising costs, but good journalism affects us as well, so I don’t ask this lightly.

Will you join us in keeping independent journalism free and available to all?

With thanks,
