Acceptable Views w/ Alexander Brown

It’s not every week the Premier of Ontario calls your work “right-wing radical,” so we had to get out a podcast before the end of summer to mark this most amusing and momentous of occasions.

So much for a summer slowdown. It’s been a busy week for the Canadians interested in their country being less terrible on purpose. Let’s just say we’re off to an inauspicious start. Tune in to chat ongoing immigration debacles, failing healthcare, a public safety minister’s mega-conflict, and Bill C-5 so far leading to conversations, and little else. Communications and columns for reference: https...

It’s getting tight at the top in the Canadian polls. Some of that is all noise and no signal. But there are legitimate Liberal gains in there — however fickle — largely thanks to the actions of a certain president (and a cratering NDP who can’t fall much further). Let’s get into it in the latest pod. Companion articles: https://www.acceptableviews.co/p/read-the-fine-print https://www.acceptablevie...

Happy New Year, readers. Or should I say, listeners? Keep an eye out for weekly or bi-weekly episodes in the New Year. And do forgive the growing pains. I should have this up on Spotify and Apple podcasts for next time, and I’ll work on cleaning up the audio. Can you tell I was playing the intro song off my phone? High quality stuff, huh?
