Are you dulled to sleep by the mainstream media? Then get set to breath in a blast of fresh, northern air. Every two months HighGrader Magazine wades into the issues the big boys won't touch -- corporate skullduggery, the underlying class conflict in wilderness battles, the ever-growing war between urban tastes and rural culture. We've followed the corporatization of classrooms, the sell-out of public lands and the genetic tampering of foods. There's no party lines here. Along the way we've pissed off big corporations and yuppie environmental lobbies. We've hung out with bear hunters, Hawaiian separatists and cowboy bonus miners --6,000 feet underground. From our base in the one-industry mining and logging towns of Northern Ontario we provide a new take on rural and northern culture. Whether it's finding hidden meaning in action films or exploring forgotten remnants of blue-collar mining history, HighGrader is a magazine with dirt on its fingernails. HighGrader Magazine is a refreshing, funny and very brassy
alternative to the same old, same old. |

Here's what people say about us: "HighGrader is
a progressive magazine with deep communal instincts....if there
is an agenda behind the many investigative pieces it is to expose
unfairness wherever it can be found."
"HighGrader is
one of the best progressive, regional publications around. It
is a thoughtful publication that offers its readers real insights
into life outside the urban world."
"The search for
things authentic and real often takes cultural forms. I think
that explains phenomena like HighGrader Magazine, Stompin' Tom
and Bruce MacDonald movies." "My client demands
an immediate apolagy."
