Dispatch from The Front Lines: Trudeau, having wrecked the carbon tax, will now kick women out of cabinet

Maybe he'll hand out some AR-15s, too. And ban French. And then make dope illegal again.

Two of these get a break on their carbon tax, but not the rest.

Hello, Line readers. Thanks for being here. What a silly week this one was. Issues big, issues small. Issues serious, issues trivial. We’ll try to recap them all for you, but first, just a teeny-tiny announcement: we’ve been throwing a ton of time and attention at our new podcast. You can listen to it here, on our Substack, of course. But you can also listen to it on basically every major podcast streaming platform, including Google, Apple and Spotify.

Please do follow us/subscribe/like on whichever of these platforms you prefer and leave us a nice review. This is all about mastering the algorithms so we can reach new listeners who haven’t heard of us yet. The more positive reviews we get, the more the platforms see our content being enjoyed, the more likely they are to suggest it to people who are already interested in Canadian news and political analysis. Help us hack the algos, basically. It matters, it helps and we already see signs that it’s working. So let’s keep going! Find all that information here.

It’s also hugely helpful if you like and share our podcast video on YouTube. Our views have been doing well there. Check it out, subscribe to our channel and share our work. Thanks!

And now, on with the dispatch.
