Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Wales took an eighth successive win with a convincing defeat of Canada in front of 12,000 spectators at the York Stadium in Toronto.

It had not been all one-way traffic in the first half as the RBS 6 Nations champions had been held to a 15-3 lead by a resolute home side.

Tries from Mark Taylor and Colin Charvis in the first half kept Wales in front, but the part-time Canada side conceded seven tries after the break as Wales ran up a record win against their hosts. Nineteen-year-old debutant Chris Czekaj scored the try of the match, Jon Thomas crossed twice and Ben Broster scored on his first start.
