Hump Day Holiday
Enjoy a break today.
We’ll be back on Friday with a look at the provincial elections across Canada and what that might mean for Newfoundland and Labrador.
Monday’s column will connect up the sudden changes to the Lands Act and the finding by the Auditor General that the government cannot even tell you what land it owns and what it doesn’t.
There are plenty of more columns in the production queue all the way through to Christmas but owing to some unforeseen glitches, this week you get Wednesday off.
Before you go have a go at Hump Day, let me share some news about Bond Papers. Circulation has grown steadily over the last year and for the past month readership is at historic highs not just for the Substack version but for the entire life of Bond Papers since January 2005. We are not just talking daily peaks here or one column that stands out. We are talking consistently strong readership during the week, with folks picking up stuff they missed. That let’s me know that the columns are striking a chord.
I don’t make a living at this but subscriptions support production. If you’ve joined the Free-for-All list, thanks for your support. Consider becoming a paying subscriber. We haven’t raised the rates here since the Substack version started and while the monthly rate may bump in the New Year, the yearly one is going to stay at $50. Heck. Don’t just consider it. Click the button and do the deed.
As an extra incentive some of you may get emails directly from Substack offering a free month’s subscription. Get the app, take the subscription, and let’s grow the community. With more people joining in, we can expand the features.
Anyway… off ya go.
Here’s a bit of local Punk to send you on yer way.
