  We just want to say thanks In 2020, Canadians were encouraged to stay home whenever they could. And while there, they set many records here at The Tyee, including the number who became members by subscribing to our free headlines and by contributing vital financial support. And the number of people who viewed our pages rose steeply to about a million a month. We’re so grateful. We saw big increases in readership not just in B.C. but across other provinces and states, too. So thanks to readers old and new for spending some of your alone time with us in these trying times.
