Independent · Canadian · No bullshit
Long-form analysis, sharp opinions, and the receipts other newsrooms won't publish. From the MadMax Média Group.
OPINION Local journalism in this country didn't die of natural causes. It was strangled, slowly, by people who told us they were saving it. Here is the part of the story you keep missing.
ANALYSE We promised competition. We got concentration. The data the CRTC won't put on its homepage tells the whole story in three columns.
ANALYSE A ruling buried under election coverage redefined who a Canadian city can sweep out of its parks. Read the dissent. It's the most important paragraph in the country this year.
BILLET Same chain. Same drink. Same size. The price gap between Toronto and Saint-Henri is wider than the price gap between gasoline and diesel. Why?
ENQUETE Six months of land-title searches, securities filings, and one very patient lawyer. The map of Canadian rental ownership has changed faster than any government has acknowledged.
ENQUETE Six years of internal margin data, leaked memos, and federal hearings we sat through so you wouldn't have to. The chain didn't survive inflation. It engineered it.
OPINION Postmedia just shuttered another seven weeklies. Nobody who shut them down lives in those towns. This is what democratic erosion looks like when it happens slowly.
