Portraits and interviews
Nuka, 13 I want to write a book. A love story. And I want to open a chocolate shop in Belgium.Jordan, 15 I find that poetry gets my feelings out the best. I also express myself by singing. I pretty much try and find lots of creative ways to get that anger out rather than yelling at somebody.Dedre, 19 My job at the youth centre is to supervise the kids and make sure they don’t come in here being a drug addict or an alcoholic.Rolonda, 13 We don’t have to use seat belts here. I like that ’cause selt belts are annoying and they hurt when you hit bumps.Candice, 16 I got really close to a lot of people when I moved up here. I just don’t have the same connections down south.Jonathan, 15 (on bed) I honestly think we’re losing the culture.Colin, 14 I sent my grandpa a photo of when I was leading the cadets, and he said I looked exactly like my great uncle Wendel Clark. He was the sharpest and tallest man in his whole battalion. It’s what my grandpa said about me in my uniform.Douglas, 15 You see the northern lights once, you’re probably going to want to move here.Jason, 16 I want to do something in politics. I’d like to start off local at first, then provincial, then federal. That’s my plan.Kristie, 17 (left) Everyone knows everyone, and it makes it complicated. I guess you don’t have that much openness. Everyone’s talking and gossiping. It’s just tiresome.

Don’t turn your back on the facts. Fund our fact checking.
Those who hold power are turning their backs on the facts. Meta has defunded its fact-checking program, Canadian politicians are making calls to defund the CBC, and the American president has embraced misinformation. This means finding facts is going to get a lot harder.
But getting facts should be a universal right, and The Walrus needs your help now more than ever to make that possible. At The Walrus, we check every single fact in our stories so that you can have paywall-free access to the most trustworthy, accurate reporting on our site, every single day. But facts aren’t free. That’s why we need your help. If you are able, support The Walrus with a donation to help ensure we can always bring you the facts.
