Our promise to you

As tensions in Canada–US relations continue, we are facing big questions about sovereignty and how our identity and values can best meet this moment.

It’s moments like this that reaffirm the mission of The Walrus. We take pride in continuing to provide independent journalism you can trust. We pledge to keep delivering the full story: the research, context, and analysis needed to make sense of such a hurried and momentous news cycle.

With our paywall-free election coverage, we will continue to look to the future of Canada—a nation that practises integrity through trust and honesty, compassion through diplomacy and allyship, partnership through peacekeeping, and strength through diversity.

If you’ve enjoyed these stories, please consider making a donation today to help us continue this national self-examination. By doing so, you will help provide everyone with paywall-free, fact-based reporting on the critical issues that stand to define our generation.

Thank you for your support.
