Oil and gas subsidies in Canada, explained | The Narwhal Oil and gas subsidies in Canada amount to billions each year, including loans, tax breaks and other incentives

People claim oil and gas in Canada isn't subsidized, but that's not true. Governments give away billions each year to hugely profitable companies through direct funds, tax breaks, preferential financing and more (including a pipeline). An explainer. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/oil-and-gas-...

Our readers are the absolute best.

We are suing the RCMP for unlawfully arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken while reporting in Wetʼsuwetʼen territory. The Narwhal is doing this for all Canadian journalists' right to do their job without being arrested. Our readers are showing up in a big way for us and donating, will you?

I’m happy to announce that there a an official sequel to the poopmoji gif. Shout out to @jsrutgers.bsky.social for doing the hard reporting work so I can make silly things like this animation.
