Time-Sensitive: Support Independent Saskatchewan Reporting at OurSask
Every records request, document haul, and deep dive has a real cost. If you want this work to continue, tonight’s a good night to back it.
I’ll keep this brief: if you value having independent, Saskatchewan-focused reporting that isn’t owned by the people it covers, I’m asking for your support tonight.
Every investigation we’ve published recently - every records request, every late-night document haul, every long post that turns chaos into something you can actually understand - comes with real costs attached.
Paid subscriptions don’t yet cover all the costs of putting these pieces together: not even close. If you want this kind of work to keep landing in your inbox, this is a moment where your support genuinely matters.
You read OurSask because you know something is off in this province, and you want receipts, not spin. Every deep dive, document haul, FOI, database subscription, and long-form explainer takes time, money, and a frankly ridiculous amount of stubbornness to keep pushing when powerful people would prefer this all went away.
Because of you, OurSask exposes what’s buried in Government of Saskatchewan reports, Hansard, and financial reports that most people will never see, let alone read closely. But right now, paid subscriptions alone don’t cover the actual costs of doing that work - never mind the time it takes to pull everything together into something you can read over coffee instead of spending your own hours wading through 200-page PDFs.
So this is a direct, no-drama ask.
If you value having an independent, non‑party, non‑corporate outlet in Saskatchewan that is willing to pull records, connect dots, and say out loud what everyone else only hints at, I’m asking you to chip in to keep it going. Your support tonight helps cover concrete, boring-but-essential costs:
Paid access to databases, court and regulatory records, and archival material
Subscriptions and tools I need to obtain and verify information
The time it takes to investigate properly instead of chasing clicks
A one‑time donation is genuinely helpful. A monthly contribution - even in the “this is what I’d spend on one takeout order” range - creates stability so I can plan multi‑month investigations and not just react to the latest headline. Either way, you’re not tipping a content creator; you’re funding a watchdog that isn’t owned by the people it covers.
If you’re in a position to help, here’s how you can do it right now:
Make a one‑time or monthly donation by e‑transfer to tammyrobert0123@gmail.com, or by clicking here:
If you prefer, upgrade to a paid subscription or increase your existing support inside Substack.
Forward this post to someone who should be part of this community and tell them why you read OurSask.
If you’re not in a place to give, you are still absolutely welcome here. Open the posts, read, share, and keep paying attention - that matters more than you think.
But if you are someone who reads everything, hits refresh on the big stories, and says to yourself “this needs to exist,” tonight is me asking you, plainly, to help shoulder the cost of making it exist.
Thanks for reading, for sharing, and for standing behind Saskatchewan work that doesn’t flinch.
