Attention shoppers,
The holiday retail frenzy is officially underway with Black Friday, a day that has morphed into a week‐long (sometimes month‐long) spendathon.
The Walrus is not immune to the hubbub (yes, we just ran a special subscription offer; if you missed out, we’ve extended the offer just for you). But we also spent the past year developing a critical lens for all things consumer‐related as people in Canada navigate affordability issues, oligopolies, and assorted corporate hijinks.
The topic feels especially urgent given how pocketbook worries motivated so many voters in the recent US election—concerns that will likely play a big role in our upcoming federal election.
So whether you’re curious about fakes, food inflation, or real estate, we’ve got you covered.
