Checked: Did Justin Trudeau Create a Canadian Crime Wave?
Pierre Poilievre has set his targets on the Liberals’ ‘catch-and-release’ policies. Is he right? A Tyee report.
Every week from Friday to Sunday night, you've likely noticed The Tyee with a new look and feel. It's our new culture section, the Weekender. Because we're now devoting weekends to showcasing creative ingenuity in Vancouver and across the region.
The Tyee has long run culture stories, but having a place to showcase them puts a new emphasis on the importance of these pieces in our lives, building a meeting place for a diverse and intergenerational audience.
Our hope is that the Weekender will act as a new space for readers to connect with the creative community, and for creatives to connect with our readers.
You can expect to see an exciting range of work by Tyee staff writers as well as new voices taking the Weekender stage. If you'd like to be a part of it, reach out to us with a pitch.

The results of our year-end fundraising campaign are in — we smashed our goal of 500 new recurring supporters. And all told, when we include people who gave one-time contributions, nearly 1,500 people gave during the campaign period.
As a non-profit newsroom that operates without a paywall that would force people to pay to read our articles, fundraising drives like this are how we fuel our operations.
Our official campaign period is over, but of course, readers are welcome (and encouraged!) to sign up as contributing Tyee Builders at any time.
If you’re a regular reader of The Tyee and you’d like to help us do more, please consider joining us today.
From everyone at The Tyee, we offer our deepest appreciation to our community of readers who help make our journalism happen. We couldn’t do it without you.
