Cut through the noise with The Walrus.

Canada is feeling the squeeze. Rents are soaring, grocery bills keep climbing, and for too many families, the math of daily life just doesn’t add up. These aren’t isolated struggles—they’re systemic challenges tied to policy decisions and political choices. And they’re exactly what’s at stake in the 2025 federal election.

But here’s the thing: understanding these issues, and the solutions being proposed, isn’t easy in a world awash with misinformation and partisan spin. That’s where The Walrus comes in. Our mission is to cut through the noise, to connect the dots between the policies debated in Parliament and the realities playing out in your neighbourhood.

To do that—to keep reporting with depth, rigour, and clarity—we need your support. This election is about more than picking a leader. It’s about charting a future for Canada. Help us keep telling the stories that matter. Donate today.

Editor-in-Chief, The Walrus
