People sometimes ask how much a subscription costs. I find this funny, because it's obviously a lapse on my part, but I grew up digitally native so I always just hit the Subscribe button to find out what the cost is. OF COURSE some people disagree that this is a good strategy! Sorry about that.

So: Subscriptions cost $5 a month. Or $50 a year (a 16.7% savings over the monthly rate). Or any larger amount you feel like paying: "Founding Member" is pre-set at $250 a year, but you can reset that number to any amount larger than $50. As always, I say this because I mean it, I'm grateful for all subscribers, including those who don't pay.

I haven’t told my husband I subscribe because he might say we can’t afford that. You are my “guilty pleasure.” (You, and Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut bars.)

Congratulations!

It must feel very rewarding to start a new Substack adventure and discover such a loyal following. To go from zero to needing a producer in such a short time is a beacon of hope for the sustainability of quality journalism in Canada.

So glad you are continuing this venture and it is wonderful that you can now hire a producer. It is also good to know you appreciate opinionated subscribers. We are that. An Emergency in Ottawa was great and I will be ordering Trudeau on the Ropes. Isn't it great to go to work each day and like your boss?

I understand the use of podcasts: however, I find I have time to either read or listen, not both. A couple of my favourite substack authors have weekly podcasts lasting an hour or so and i wish there was a text copy available to read/scan. i feel that I am missing out but there are only so many hours in the day and reading gives me much more enjoyment than listening.

Thank-you, Mr. Wells, for your work here and on your podcast, and congratulations. Two years in and at least three more to go - lucky us! You are a beacon of sanity and good sense. Getting from Alberta to Ottawa for a book launch is a little far; otherwise, I'd be there to wish you well. I will definitely pick up a copy when it reaches my local book seller.
