INSIDE SCOOP

Have you subscribed to The Run?

We know this will be a wild election season. That’s why we’re introducing The Run, our free election newsletter.

The Run will focus on the most important topics in the Canadian federal election — the ones we don’t talk nearly enough about — and their implications for the future. It will ignore the noise, forget about the tweets, the drama and the horse race for a second, and think about how politics actually affects the real world around us.

It launches on Fri., Aug. 30.
