Election 2025

More Election 2025

Every week from Friday to Sunday night, you've likely noticed The Tyee with a new look and feel. It's our new culture section, the Weekender. Because we're now devoting weekends to showcasing creative ingenuity in Vancouver and across the region.

The Tyee has long run culture stories, but having a place to showcase them puts a new emphasis on the importance of these pieces in our lives, building a meeting place for a diverse and intergenerational audience.

Our hope is that the Weekender will act as a new space for readers to connect with the creative community, and for creatives to connect with our readers.

You can expect to see an exciting range of work by Tyee staff writers as well as new voices taking the Weekender stage. If you'd like to be a part of it, reach out to us with a pitch.

Support The Tyee, Get Paper Doll Politicos

This federal election feels more dire drama than comedy — but we all need to... breathe. And even smile. So we created political leader paper dolls. From now until April 18, if you sign up to contribute $25 per month or $240 per year or more to our editorial budget, we’ll mail you your own set to dress up and proudly showcase on your fridge or office break room corkboard.

Want to put Mark Carney in his British banker outfit? Or hand Pierre Poilievre an apple to chomp in contempt of media? Each figure comes with several outfits! Check out all of them in the paper doll fitting room.

The paywall-free Tyee exists because of its paying members. Please join!

The Next Economy

From Alaska to California, people are pouring their smarts and hearts into successful enterprises that are low carbon and locally rooted. They’re employing and training, producing and sustaining.

So The Tyee created a whole new section to tell their stories and share best practices for a healthy bioregion. We call it What Works. It’s where you’ll find regular reports on the business of creating what works for a better future.

Gearing Up for the White-Knuckled Ride of 2025
(read related story)

The importance and value of independent journalism, that pursues excellence in fact-based journalism, will become increasingly obvious in the weeks and months to come.


2025 is likely to be a world-shifting year. As we watch the toxic machinations of the billionaires who use their control of media to contort and distort the public’s perceptions of reality, The Tyee’s reporting will help us all to navigate the upcoming white-knuckled ride. Many thanks.
