The Dominion Paper is the best example of a serious national alternative newssource in Canada, breaking stories and carrying in-depth reports that often get picked up and watered down by the mainstream media weeks or months later. Over the last few years, the Dominion's foundations have been carefully laid through the dedicated work of editors, writers and volunteers. Now is the time for the Dominion Paper to grow and reach a wider public, and with your help, it can.

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
