Day in and day out, I work to shine a spotlight on the politics and corporate power that shapes our collective response to the climate crisis.

The value of good journalism, and the importance of supporting it directly, has become increasingly obvious over the last few years.

Action is more urgent than ever, but policies to cut fossil fuel pollution are under fierce attack while misinformation seems to be everywhere. That’s why your support for Canada’s National Observer’s journalism is so crucial to drive the climate conversation forward.

There are several factors that explain the prevalence of minority governments since 2004, but chief among them is the dominance of the sovereigntist Bloc Quebecois in Quebec.

As I review the breadth and depth of our 2023 climate coverage, I am grateful. Grateful to the team of dedicated writers, podcast producers and social media stars at Canada’s National Observer who start every day with enthusiasm.

Climate journalism is challenging work. Day after day, our reporters must confront an existential threat head-on without flinching or turning away. Still, we love what we do.

No other news publication in Canada gets the climate emergency like Canada's National Observer.

What strengthens our mission in the face of our challenges is our community of donors. Our journalism is only possible with support from readers like you.

I am witnessing a crisis of hope and I am terrified by the way it intensifies our climate crisis.
