Welcome to The Hatchet

The Hatchet is a podcast and newsletter dedicated to exposing power and money in Canada. Every week, we’re going to deliver important, original and fascinating journalism about how this country actually works, and we’re going to do it in a way that no one else can.

The Hatchet is founded by Arshy Mann and Jordan Cornish. For six years, we were the team behind Canadaland’s award-winning series COMMONS.

Help us build something new

The Hatchet is a leap of faith. We believe that Canadians are hungry for journalism that not only challenges the status quo, but pulls back the curtain and reveals what’s actually happening behind the headlines.

For our first few weeks, we plan to keep all of our journalism outside of a paywall. And if enough people sign up to support us, we can hopefully keep it that way going forward.

But in order to do that, we need your help. Become a supporter. And make sure to tell your friends, your family and your criminal associates to do the same.
