Help Canada get the news it deserves.
We want to DOUBLE our audience in April. And if that sounds ambitious, that’s because it is.
To pull it off, we’re asking you — both our new and long-time listeners — to share our show with at least 3 people this month.
If you help us pull this off, we promise to:
-
Investigations are the backbone of our work. Doubling our budget means bigger scoops, deeper dives, and more Canadaland.
-
We already pay our freelancers competitive rates. But as every other newsroom in the country scales back, we want to offer more.
-
Canadaland doesn’t believe in unpaid labour. We value apprenticeship and living wages. Our third annual Audio Fellowship Program is just around the corner, and we want to up their pay and provide the best resources to the Fellowship recipients.
You can make help make all of this possible — and it won’t even cost you a dime.
Drop us into your family group chat. Recommend us in the #random channel of your office Slack. Bring us up on your Hinge date.
All we’re asking is 3 shares in April. You’ll get more shows, better content, and a healthier Canadian news climate in return.
Just share this page. Are you in?
