Thank you. The longer answer -- I was walking when I wrote the short one -- has two parts.
(a) I'm just going to write what I want to write. This will sometimes include stuff that's not of broad interest, even among my subscribers. I considered making this newsletter a very service journalism-y thing, with things like a look-ahead to business on Parliament Hill next week, but honestly, that didn't sound fun. Indulging broad interests sounds fun.
(b) This platform allows me to hive off the more niche content to sub-sections. You'll see that I now have sections marked "Positive Jam," where I'll put arts writing, and "En français svp" for writing in French. Apparently you can unsubscribe from specific sections, while keeping your subscription to the main newsletter, which will always be politics (broadly defined.) This link explains how you do that:

All that does is stop sending you email notifications of my writing in those sections. You'd still have access to it on my website.
Good luck with the project, and thanks for the explication.
