Experimental The Line podcast episode #0.45: Trudeau told NATO he wouldn't pay for BuzzFeed News so the government went on strike

Howdy, friends. There wasn’t a huge single story in the news this week, so we threw a couple headlines back and forth and sank our teeth into them. The PSAC strike, and when you’ll notice it. Why Trudeau has no friends on that one. Another media company bites the dust, and why Jen is unimpressed with some of our self-styled defenders. Trudeau’s NATO comments, subsidies for VW, and, to the government, just please stop hiring your relatives and friends. Please. It hurts us.You know what doesn’t hurt us? Revenue! We’re having to figure out a new strategy as social media stops being effective, so our best bet is simple word of mouth.
