"Why do I support The Tyee? Because it consistently features first-class, informative journalism of the kind you’re not likely to find elsewhere." -- Mel Hurtig
Hurtig's support means a lot to the Tyee. After all, he's a guy who knows informative writing when he sees it; Hurtig published the Canadian Encyclopedia, the definitive national encyclopedia for our country. Besides being a publishing mogul, Hurtig has also owned a chain of book stores, tried his hand at politics, and helped establish the Council of Canadians. He's also an author. His most recent book, The Truth About Canada, takes on "how Canada has changed, very much for the worse, in the last 20 years."
