Tyee Insider

What we're up to. How to be involved.

Thank you, Tyee Builders!

Our goal for the end of the year 2025 was to sign up 750 new recurring Tyee Builders. And, wow, did you ever come through!

By midnight on Dec. 31, more than 900 people had signed up for or increased a recurring contribution to our newsroom.

Along with one-time contributors, in total over 1,770 Tyee readers chose to support independent journalism during our campaign, and the contributions are still trickling in.

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. It’s truly amazing how our readers continue to show up for us, and we don’t take your support for granted.

Our official campaign period is over, but of course, readers are welcome (and encouraged!) to sign up as contributing Tyee Builders at any time.

The Next Economy

From Alaska to California, people are pouring their smarts and hearts into successful enterprises that are low carbon and locally rooted. They’re employing and training, producing and sustaining.

So The Tyee created a whole new section to tell their stories and share best practices for a healthy bioregion. We call it What Works. It’s where you’ll find regular reports on the business of creating what works for a better future.

Interested in this project? Read more about What Works or contact us to be involved.

High-Stakes Stickhandling
(read related story)

“Elbows up is not the best option in dealing with Trump on tariffs. Sounds good but is not effective when dealing with the elephant in the room. Evidence of that is Trump’s current rant and the 10 per cent threat.


“To ‘stick’ with the hockey metaphor, I think Carney is playing it smart. Stick handling rather than elbows up is a better approach in dealing with the Trump dynasty that will, as time goes by, lose the game of public opinion in the U.S. As has been stated before, ‘No deal is better than a bad deal.’ Human instinct to deal abruptly with discomfort will at times fail to produce the desired outcome.”
