Reader Notes

We could use an extra couple of bucks a months from you!

This newsletter is curated by David Akin, chief political correspondent at Global News. The headlines, excerpts, and photos are generated by the publishers of the clipping. The publisher is at the bottom left of the clipping. If I've got a comment, you''ll see that in italics. But if I've generated the headline and the excerpt, you'll see me taking attribution by finishing with -DA in bold. The stuff about the stamps at the bottom — that’s all me.

You can help keep this newsletter going with a monthly pledge -- Just $5 would do it -- via Patreon or, if you want to make a one-time donation, send an e-transfer to jda@davidakin.com.

About one in 20 of this newsletter's subscribers have already contributed and I’m very grateful for the support. Thank you.

Hoping the 19 in 20 who are not yet helping out might consider a donation as small as $3 a month for this 7-day-a-week newsletter. Thanks in any event for reading!
