“I just got let go from the Halifax Chronicle Herald after almost 30 years,” de Adder said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.

de Adder, who was recently awarded the Order of Canada, was released by Postmedia, which purchased SaltWire Media earlier this year. Numerous editorial positions have been cut since the ownership change.

de Adder’s cartoons have been featured in the Washington Post, the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail, among others.
