Dear National Post reader,

If you care about what’s really going on in Canadian politics — not just the headlines, but the thinking and strategy behind them — there’s one newsletter you need to read.

It’s called Political Hack, and it’s written by me, Stuart Thomson, the parliamentary bureau chief at National Post, along with strategist Tasha Kheiriddin. We take you inside the back rooms of Parliament Hill, decode campaign messaging, and give you the inside story, the internal polling and political strategy that will shape what happens next. 

Political Hack is now a premium, VIP-only offering — and we want to make sure you don’t miss out.

That means:

• Twice-weekly editions with exclusive reporting and insider intel
  
  
• Smart, sharp political strategy breakdowns you won’t find anywhere else
  
  
• Exclusive early access to special features, including advance columns by Parliament Hill veteran John Ivison, as well as videos and live events

We've already taken readers inside Mark Carney’s cross-country campaign tour during the election and explained how the Trump factor helped Carney glide to victory.

And Political Hack readers were not surprised when former prime minister Justin Trudeau stepped down earlier this year because we explained, months ahead of the curve, that insider polling showed he had no hope of hanging on.

Join the insiders who already rely on it — and get your VIP access at a limited-time early bird rate here.

Stuart Thomson

Parliamentary bureau chief, National Post
