      The Leveller is a local Ottawa left-leaning newspaper. Our aim is to provide news and analysis in support of people everywhere who are fighting against all forms of oppression. If that’s your kind of jam check out the GET INVOLVED page for more.

      The Leveller is an ambitious little rag. It wants to be simultaneously irreverent and important, to demand responsibility from others while it shakes it off itself, to be a fun-house mirror we can laugh at ourselves in and a map we can use to find ourselves and our city in. It wants to be your coolest, most in-the-know friend and your social conscience at the same time. It has its work cut out for it. The Leveller is published every month or so. It is free if you can find it, but you're looking at this on a screen, so you've found the next best thing. The Leveller and its editors have no phone or office, but can be contacted with letters of love or hate at editors.the.leveller@gmail.com
