EP04 -- A 'Kamala bump' in the road?
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.

Preview Episode: The Acceptable Views Podcast
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?
