The Breach is an online, Canadian news outlet launched on March 10, 2021 to provide reader and viewer-supported reporting, analysis and videos on issues such as racism, inequality, colonialism and climate change. Its contributors include the Indigenous writer, lawyer and professor Pamela Palmater, journalists El Jones and Linda McQuaig, legal scholar Azeezah Kanji and documentary filmmaker Avi Lewis.[1]
The Breach promises to provide "adversarial," investigative journalism that exposes injustices more vigorously than corporate newspapers, owned by billionaires and US hedge funds, or than the CBC, Canada's public broadcaster. "We believe journalism can be credible while still open about its commitments: to inspire action, tell stories about people remaking society, and amplify visions of a new world to win together," The Breach announced on its website.[1][2]
In Parliament, Elizabeth May of the Green Party cited reporting from The Breach showing close ties between federal politicians and Canada's oil and gas industry, a subject the publication has been pursuing in later stories.[3][4]
