Investigative Journalism leads to Energy East pipeline process being declared void

January 27, 2017

Good day.

I wanted to let you know that the Energy East pipeline process was just declared void due to revelations uncovered by National Observer last year that illuminated a deceptive and dysfunctional oversight process.  This wouldn't have happened without the time and skill of Managing Editor Mike De Souza, who uncovered the story, thanks to a series of Freedom of Information requests and hours of time examining documents.  Mike stuck with the investigation for many months. And, here we are today.

So, please consider subscribing to the National Observer today, and I promise you, we'll use the money to deliver you more hard-hitting reporting like this.  On issues that really matter.

You’ll fund Mike's investigative team to dive deeper, to dig into more leads coming from whistleblowers. It’s such a critical time in the world. And, Canada desperately needs quality journalism to defend our democracy from Trump-style propaganda, climate denial and intolerance.

Quality investigative journalism has never been more important.

Warm Regards,

Linda Solomon Wood,
Editor-in-chief, National Observer
