Mainstream Canadian media is letting us down. No longer will we accept journalism too scared of financial or political repercussions to ask the hard questions. Canadians deserve an ally within the media. We need independent voices, beholden to no one but their audience, the everyday Canadian.
We need transformative and fearless reporting, which speaks “truth about power, to the people”.
The Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.
