Last year, Canada was getting tariff threats slung by Trump, with the flip-flopping becoming too much to follow. This year, we’re seeing more of the same: Trump is war hungry and further eroding Canada–US relations.

But here’s the thing: Trump relies on confusion, intimidation, and exhaustion. The Walrus exists to fight that from the North. You are the reason we can challenge brute force with hard questions, fact-checking, and strong voices. We have a goal of 400 new donations this month, and you can help, even if you’ve been a member for a while.

Support this work and choose clarity over noise.
