The best source for informed lively commentary since 1992

Fake news? Post-truth? Politically correct? Internet trolls? Alt-right?
In today’s shrill, hyper-partisan media environment, informed, evidence-based analysis, untainted by an ideological agenda, is needed more than ever.
Inroads has been providing such analysis, in a lively, accessible way, since 1992.

Praise for Inroads

Inroads is an energetic and eclectic read. It covers Canadian policy issues in depth and in a surprisingly nonpartisan way. There's a wide range of thought in these pages.

Ellen Roseman, business columnist, Toronto Star

Inroads is a valuable little magazine. Directed in the first instance at readers on the Left, it makes a heroic effort to include other points of view and promote dialogue across the political spectrum.

Tom Flanagan, Professor of Political Science, University of Calgary

If our social policies are to develop on a firm foundation, we need to be able to think outside the box of partisan and short-term considerations. That's where Inroads comes in.

Marie-France Raynault, Chair, Department of Community Medicine, University of Montreal

Inroads is an important review because it communicates to English-speaking Canadians the important ideas debated in Quebec in French. I want Quebec's intellectual life better understood in English Canada; and it is my hope that Inroads will be widely read.

Gregory Baum, Professor emeritus, Religious Studies, McGill University

I read Inroads to understand how and where Quebeckers might best build bridges to English Canada.

Michel Venne, Editor of L’Annuaire de Québec (the QuebecYear Book) and Columnist at Le Devoir
