The final days that determine our future.
The next few days will decide whether Juno enters 2026 strong or scrambling - Keean Bexte - Dec 28
With just a few days left in the year, we are approaching the end of our $150,000 year-end campaign.
Right now, we have raised a little over $50,000, which means $100,000 still needs to come in before January 1.
This is the moment where everything tightens. There is no cushion left. Either we close a significant portion of that gap tonight, or we enter 2026 forced to scale back at the exact moment demand for independent journalism is exploding.
I do not often explain why I do this work, but I want to be clear with you.
Juno News exists so we can say what we see, report what we uncover, and ask questions others will not without fear of being silenced, defunded, or fired. That independence exists only because readers step up when it counts.
If we fall short, the consequences are real.
We will not be able to launch my new flagship show, In 5 Minutes with Keean Bexte.
We will be forced to slow the growth of our national newsroom instead of expanding it to compete with the legacy media Canadians no longer trust.
We will enter 2026 on our back foot, with fewer resources to defend ourselves against the government’s criminal investigation into our reporting.
And we will lose momentum at the exact moment Canadians are looking for a serious, independent national alternative.
Support Juno now
With your help, nobody owns us. Nobody controls us. Nobody shuts us up.
The year ahead will likely bring a federal election and unprecedented pressure on independent journalism. We will be expected to expose those in power, challenge those seeking power, and tell the truth even when it is uncomfortable.
That work depends on how this campaign ends.
Donate now and help us close as much of the gap as possible before midnight.
Thank you for standing with independent journalism. Together, we can make 2026 a turning point.
Keean Bexte

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.
This ...
WEF/UN/Globalists have proven they can’t be trusted now given the key to Canada. Are you awake yet Canadians??
REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP
WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?
The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.
On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.
Thank you to @jimmy_dore for pointing out this...
Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
