Since April 18, 2001, we’ve been sharing ‘news for the rest of us;’ offering independent, progressive journalism that challenges the mainstream. And in 2025, it seems that mandate is more important than ever.
This year, we’ll be celebrating our birthday month by covering the federal election. And while every federal election feels historic as it’s happening, this one feels especially so.
This time, both our democracy and sovereignty are at stake. Amid a trade war, rising inequality, and threats to Canada’s sovereignty and democratic values, this election will determine the future of our country.
Despite trying to distance himself from MAGA politics now that Trump’s aggression towards Canada is public, Pierre Poilievre isn’t the “tough guy” he claims to be when it comes to dealing with Trump. In reality, Poilievre’s politics and record show that he would be a tough leader to deal with for labor unions, women and gender diverse people, BIPOC communities and virtually every marginalized group in Canada.
If the polls are to be believed, progressive voices like the New Democrats and the Greens could have a hard time cutting through the noise of what mainstream, corporate-owned media outlets have already decided is a two-person race between Pierre Poilievre and Prime Minister Mark Carney; however, at rabble.ca, we know that elections are the most sacred part of the democratic process, and their outcomes should never be treated as foregone conclusions.
During this election season, we promise to provide our readers, panel viewers and podcast listeners with stories that represent and respect the full spectrum of progressive voices – the way we have for the past 24 years.
But we can’t do it without your help!
