We need you now more than ever. In turbulent times, it is crucial that reliable media remains available to everyone.

With thanks, Jennifer Hollett Executive Director, The Walrus
The Walrus was conceived as a national project—an attempt to take the measure of this experiment called Canada. The founding editors were answering what they felt was a need for bold narratives, for a magazine that could reflect the country’s aspirational beliefs. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we might say the gamble paid off. But the table stakes are higher now.
Your participation in the Canadian conversation is more essential than ever. To support The Walrus is to support the value of stories that diagnose not just who we’re not, but celebrate who we are. Can we count on you?
With thanks, Carmine Starnino Interim Editor-in-Chief, The Walrus
