Reader Notes

A welcome and some thank yous!

A warm welcome to the many of you who subscribed to this newsletter over the weekend and a hearty thank you to all of you who have been with us for some time.

This newsletter is curated by me, David Akin. My full-time job is being the Chief Political Correspondent at Global News but I put this newsletter together every day independently of my employer. Certainly it will include a lot of the work of my Global News colleagues but it will include items from other sources and organizations. This newsletter contains the sort of content I might have passed on via Facebook before it banned Canadian news or on Twitter before Musk.

There are some costs associated with using this platform to deliver what amounts to about 80,000 e-mails a month and it would be great if you could help defray those costs 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.

Many of you have already contributed and I’m very grateful.

A reminder that: The headlines, excerpts, and photos here 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 stamp stuff at the bottom are scans from my collection and, if there’s a stamp blurb, I’ve written that bit. -DA
