Are we on a roller coaster?

The events of the last few weeks have been dizzying. We’ve read war plans shared over text messages, heard ongoing threats to Canadian sovereignty, and have felt the ripple effects of axed international aid and public health and immigration changes well beyond our borders. On the cusp of a federal election, our country faces significant questions as to how we should respond to these issues.

At The Walrus, we’re keeping up with all that is happening in Canada, the US, and beyond. Our editors are working hard to bring you fresh insights and reporting every single day on the issues that matter. The Walrus was built for this moment, but we cannot do this alone.

If you enjoyed this article, please make a donation today to help us continue this work. With your support, we can ensure that everyone has access to responsible, fact-based coverage of the very issues that will shape our collective future.
