Canada's National Observer (CNO) is a news website that features daily news, analysis and opinion on energy, climate, politics, and social issues. Its owner, Observer Media Group, is a certified B Corporation. By 2015, CNO had a Vancouver office and later opened offices in Ottawa and Toronto. In its 2016 Kickstarter campaign, CNO described the journalism it set out to do as a "dramatic new series about the world's fight to beat climate change." The original team included Charles Mandel, Elizabeth McSheffrey, Bruce Livesey, Sandy Garossino, Jenny Uechi, Mike De Souza, Valentina Ruiz Leotaud, and Bruno De Bondt, with Linda Solomon Wood as editor-in-chief." The campaign crowdsourced $70,863 from 784 backers. The 2016 Kickstarter campaign listed issues that CNO's investigative journalists would cover, including the role of corporations that impede change, climate policies related to the 2015 Paris Agreement, food security, the oil sands, hydraulic fracturing in Canada, and animal welfare. The centrepiece of CNO's launch was Bruce Livesey's May 4, 2015 article, "How Canada made the Koch brothers rich.". On January 1, 2016, CNO published the first in a special series of articles on the Great Bear Rainforest in partnership with Tides Canada, Teck, and Vancity. More information...
