"What hooks me? Seeing a painting by Stanley Spencer on an unexpected wall, an experience I had recently on the road. What else hooks me? The Tyee's journalism. God bless independence." -- Jane Urquhart
At The Tyee, we love the unexpected, too. In fact, we like to be the first to know what's happening so that we can keep you well informed. To achieve this consistently, we've started a new program that will ensure we can support our journalists while they delve deep into the facts and investigate the issues that matter to Canadians. We're trying to plan ahead financially, but we need your help.
If you'd like to join Jane and the rest of our celebrity Tyee Builders in helping to make sure The Tyee's independent voice is heard -- and perhaps even turn up the volume a bit -- in the chorus of Canadian media, become a Tyee Builder. There are all kinds of perks in it for you, including a copy of Jane's latest bestseller if you sign up to support The Tyee with just $15 a month -- that's 25 per cent less than a subscription to the Vancouver Sun.
