"I support the Tyee because it publishes long investigative pieces that are important for both readers and for journalism. What else hooks me? Fried Chicken Fridays at Refuel restaurant in Vancouver. It's really terrific... have you been?" -- Douglas Coupland
If Doug's taste in news is any indication of his taste in chicken, then book us a table! He's absolutely right about the kind of work we publish: over the years, The Tyee has investigated issues of great import to Canadians and broken major news stories. We've done in-depth investigations into -- among many other topics -- affordable housing and homelessness, reported from Washington, DC on the War Over the Oil Sands, considered the Challenges Facing the Labour Movement in the near future, and have delved into successes in First Nations education.
