Dispatch from the Front Line: Bunfights and easy marks
Dispatch from the Front Line: Bunfights and easy marks
On the Grim Beeper, EV uncertainty, confidence chaos, media nonsense, and the Mark Fund.
Happy weekend, Line readers! Have you heard our podcast yet? If not, it’s below.
Every week, we ask everyone to like and subscribe. It’s basically an in-joke with our fans at this point. But we want to remind everyone that it really matters. Signing up for a paid account here is hugely important, but so is liking/following/subscribing on the various podcasting apps. Bigger audiences tickle the algorithms and give us even bigger audiences. And leaving us a glowing review is also a huge benefit. If you haven’t yet, please take the five minutes needed to do so. It really does help!
As always, the audio version of the podcast (along with a bunch of ways to subscribe to it) can be found here.
But really! Please! Do those things! They help!
And now, on with the dispatch.
We really wish we had something more edifying to start this dispatch with, because you, the best readers in the world, deserve nothing less. Unfortunately, it was another week of juvenile idiocy in Ottawa, and we appear to be no closer to any kind of resolution than we were when we last wrote. Alas.
We’re sure you’re all generally up to speed. The Conservatives have said they will roll out a motion of non-confidence in the government early next week. The NDP and the Bloc have already said they won’t vote for it. Of course they won’t. Doing so would virtually guarantee Pierre Poilievre his desperately sought majority. Both the NDP and the Bloc will now spend some time figuring out what ad hoc concessions they can wring out of Justin Trudeau as his days as prime minister come to a close.
