Again, good choice.
It's interesting when new sites pop up on the site. Sometimes they are legitimate, and sometimes like a lot of our conservatives offer us , are bunk. It's always good to check references and the credibility of a source. Having said that her is a background on the BC magazine, the Tyee:
The Tyee does not make a profit. Every dollar we receive we invest in journalism.
About half of our budget is supported by funding from Eric Peterson and Christina Munck, who live in British Columbia and who also fund, through their charity the Tula Foundation, the Hakai Institute and Hakai Magazine in B.C. Their demands of The Tyee are simply journalistic excellence and independence. They exert zero influence on editorial decision-making.
The next largest stream of Tyee revenue comes from our Builders — you who contribute dollars even though we have no paywall. (Thanks for keeping The Tyee available to all!)
Our smallest fractions of revenue come from advertisers and project partners who pass our strict values filter. Those who don’t, we are able to reject because of our financial independence.
The Tyee is currently structured as a for-profit business. However, we now are working towards twin goals: become a non-profit organization that is majority reader funded. We welcome your help in getting there soon!
Good choice.
he's absolutely right. working class ppl were better off 40 yrs ago than now. by stealth & corruption the elites have managed to drastically reduce the standard of living for working class canadians.
