Hi, I'm Tony Wong. I'm part of the team here at Canada Land, and I am not a journalist.

I am, however, someone who has watched in quiet horror over the past few years as Canadian journalism

has continued its painful, metaphorical tumble down a comically long flight of stairs.

Case in point, within a few short months of me starting this job, I witnessed Canadian news literally

get banned from two of the world's most popular social media platforms.

Now, if I was at any other media company, one that was stuck in its ways or relied on clicks

to pay the bills, that might have made me nervous. Not here though. At Canada Land, everything we do is

made possible by our supporters. They're the reason I'm able to experiment with

new ways of growing our audience from YouTube to Tik-Tok to whatever comes next because look

Canada Land is a lot of things it's independent it's entertaining it's

informative it's human but it's not stagnant it's passive, and it certainly doesn't sit around twiddling its thumbs

when things get ugly, and neither do our supporters.

So if that sounds like you please go to Canada Land.com slash join to become a supporter.

Hi Ryan McMahon here.

I'm in Thunder Bay right now wrapping production on Return to Thunder Bay, the final three episodes. The stories we are finding here are astonishing. We're excited to bring them to you this month.

But first, I'm asking you to support our work and to support the independent news company that funds it,

Canada Land.

Canada Land funded the first season of Thunder Bay and the voices of this troubled city have

been heard almost 2 million times around the world.

Because listeners, just like you supported us, we were able to shine that light, but to do this

work properly and respectfully and accurately, it takes more time, more travel, more reporting, and more resources than we had.

Canada Land lost money on Thunder Bay, its most popular series ever.
