Guess what?
DeSmog Canada has already broken three major stories in the national press this year.
In February, we discovered that pipeline company Kinder Morgan was refusing to provide its oil spill response plans to the province of British Columbia while releasing the very same documents in Washington State. After we broke the story, it was picked up everywhere from CBC to Postmedia to the Globe and Mail.

Because of our reporting, the president of Kinder Morgan and the Chair of the National Energy Board were both forced to respond and the topic was raised in the House of Commons. What’s more, the pipeline industry itself is responding to the criticism by reviewing its disclosure standards.
Our reporting is making a difference — but none of this would be possible without support from readers like you. Please give what you can today.
In March, we published an exclusive in-depth interview with Harry Swain, the chair of the panel that reviewed the Site C dam proposed in northeastern B.C. Swain’s comments were called “unprecedented” and prompted follow-up coverage by the Globe and Mail and CBC. His interview with DeSmog Canada was also cited during Question Period in the B.C. legislature.

Just last week, DeSmog Canada released a report calling for updates to Canadian charitable law. The report — prepared by the University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Centre — made waves and was raised in the House of Commons and covered in the Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun, Victoria Times Colonist, Canadian Press and Macleans Magazine.

P.S. None of these stories would have been told if it weren’t for our people-powered journalism.r0
