The main reason I love the Observer is for their dedication to Canada's environmental issues... The Observer has broken a bunch of important stories and won awards for their journalism. Join me.

This Canadian publication focuses on news and in-depth reports on under-covered Canadian stories in the area of climate, energy, business, culture and politics. This kind of journalism needs our support more than ever.

It's always the independent media like National Observer and others who tell our stories in a way that is fair, accurate and unbiased.

National Observer is one of the few news sites that I trust. It's honest, it's investigative, it exposes injustices in the system, and serves our democracy - as the fourth estate was meant to. Very happy to be a supporter.

As mainstream media continues to shrink, we badly need the kind of critical investigative journalism that the National Observer serves up regularly. I subscribe because I believe that independent journalism is essential for social and environmental justice.

The National Observer supports long-form, controversial, evidence-based environmental health articles that are really hard get in anywhere else. They break massive stories of huge relevance and have shown tremendous courage in terms of taking on the big players. We need this team–please give them some $.
