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.

P.S. This year at Juno News, our newsroom has been fighting for the everyday Canadian, just like you. We couldn’t do the work we do without you, our reader. Whether you send us news tips, subscribe, or just share our work with other Canadians, we rely on you. Please consider pitching in before the year ends to keep us in the fight. (Thank you!!)

"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
