The Walrus was founded in 2003. As a registered charity, we publish independent, fact-based journalism in The Walrus and at thewalrus.ca; we produce national, ideas-focused events, including our flagship series The Walrus Talks; and we train emerging professionals in publishing and non-profit management. The Walrus is invested in the idea that a healthy society relies on informed citizens. The Walrus publishes content nearly every day on thewalrus.ca and ten times a year in print.

By signing up you agree to receive email about events, articles, offers, and the Walrus Foundation’s impact in your community. You can unsubscribe at any time. Here’s a thought experiment: If you were a reporter and had dug up the name of the anonymous donor who, last week, gave $100 million to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, in Toronto, would you publish it as a matter of public interest?

“Peter” was a seventeen-year-old skateboarder from an affluent family. He had spent most of the last two years waking and baking. If he was conscious, there was a good chance Peter had just hit a bong or smoked a joint. He was like so many of the clients I worked with as an addictions counsellor: good kid, okay grades, loved playing with his younger siblings. And then things changed.
