The CANADALAND news site has published an extraordinary interview with the co-founder and former editor of The Walrus, Ken Alexander. Among other things, he states that the management lied to his family's Chawkers Foundation (which fundamentally financed its creation) about the magazine's circulation and that the magazine's foundation failed to live up to the undertakings made to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in order to obtain its precious charitable status.
With no way of knowing what's provoked this, and without comment yet from the publisher, it can only be suggested that you read the article and listen to the podcast and come to your own conclusions.
