Isaac Peltz

Combining their lifelong pursuit of information and obsession with democracy beside an insatiably curious mind, Isaac is a bilingual investigative journalist based in Montréal who specializes in uncovering the political and economic forces shaping Canadians’ everyday lives, as well as standing on the front lines of social movements—protests, picket lines, getting tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed—to bring hard hitting information that many reporters are unwilling to get. Their beat—ranging from deep dives into the national housing crisis, police violence, labour movements, provincial education policy and government ethics—has appeared across independent outlets in both English and French. With more than 175,000 followers on social platforms, Isaac pairs traditional shoe‑leather reporting with multimedia storytelling, producing articles, podcasts, and on‑camera pieces that make complex public‑interest issues accessible to a broad audience.
