"What hooks me about The Tyee? That it's authentic news written by dedicated journalists and citizens who are not beholden to corporate interests. What else hooks me? The BBC show, 'Father Ted.'" -- John Vaillant
Good news. While we can't promise you any new episodes of "Father Ted," we can assure you that The Tyee will remain on-air, or rather, online, for the foreseeable future. What we'd really like to do is increase our coverage of the news and issues that matter to our readers. John has already signed on to help us: he has become a Tyee Builder, and is supporting The Tyee as we try to become more sustainable. So have a group of other recognizable Canadians.

About this Tyee Builder: John Vaillant is a freelance writer in Vancouver, BC. He won the Governor General's Award for Non-Fiction in 2005 and the Writers' Trust Non-Fiction Prize for his first book, The Golden Spruce, a "tale of obsession so fierce that a man kills the thing he loves most." His second book, The Tiger, also garnered high praise: it won BC's National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. John has also written for various publications including The New Yorker, National Geographic, The Atlantic, and The Tyee.
