LIVE SOON: On The Line on the CPC campaign, with Steph Levitz and Greg Jack
Live (ish) and in colour ...
Hello, friends. We’re splitting On The Line’s releases into audio and video. Videos are now in the late afternoon/evenings, and you can check ‘em out in all our usual places. (Audio options can all be found here, as ever.)
In this episode, Stephanie Levitz from the Globe and Mail joins Matt Gurney to discuss the CPC campaign. Despite running a solid campaign by any conventional standard, the party is falling behind the Liberals in the polls, and there are clear signs of panic at CPC HQ. This is weird, Matt tells Steph, since he’s actually come to think in recent days that the Tories still have a damn good shot.
Also on this episode: Gregory Jack of Ipsos, to break down the numbers on a really serious divide in the Canadian population. Not along partisan lines, or even regional or factional lines, but generational lines — young vs. old.

This episode is also brought to you by the Mêtis Nation of Ontario. It's Moose Factory, 1890. For generations, the Métis had been the backbone of the Hudson’s Bay Company, working as trappers, traders, voyageurs, and labourers. But in Moose Factory, they did something even greater — they helped build Canada’s original economic engine — the fur trade. In the blacksmith shop, William Moore’s hammer rings as he and other Métis shipwrights form ships, sleds, and canoes to carry goods and furs across vast distances. For decades, the Hudson’s Bay Company relied on the Métis’ ingenuity, hard work, craftsmanship, and knowledge of the land. It was their work that ensured the success of the fur trade, and their skills that kept Canada’s supply lines moving. From shipbuilding to blacksmithing, the Métis of Moose Factory helped build Canada. To learn more, go to OntarioMétisFacts.com.

Do you not do anything I can read anymore? I really enjoyed The Line. But now all I see is podcasts.
I would like to see more written about the generation gap and what the youngest generation of voters think about our candidates.
