Had a conversation with a senior government source who said the Twitter rumours about Lobbying Act amendments coming in the 2024 Budget are false.

...but please fill my DMs with any and all budget rumours. Politico Canada loves to hunt down their accuracy (or lack thereof).

Today in Ottawa Playbook: r/Kitchener FTW.

'They stand, they sit, they rest, they knit, they
read, they eat, they feed, they tweet' — Nick Taylor-Vaisey on MPs in the House #cdnpoli

Press conferences and media scrums are usually boring affairs in which politicians rattle off talking points to journalists. Pierre Poilievre's apple video was the opposite of that. I tell you how in this morning's @PoliticoOttawa Playbook! #cdnpoli politico.com/newsletters/ot…

A new season of Politico Canada trivia is upon us and the mighty Sussex Strategy team is going for the crown!

Takeaways from my conversation at Aspen with ⁦Chrystia Freeland⁩ this afternoon politico.com/news/2023/07/2…

Today is a big day for Nick Taylors. One of us won a national golf championship with a miracle putt to cap a tense four-hole playoff. The other managed to get out of bed with a moderate hangover. Huge congrats to Nick Taylor. Big for our combined Google clout.

It was a lot of fun to join this crew at last night’s Politico Canada trivia night in Edmonton (we won!). Thanks to the organizers and quizmasters for a fun time. 🍻 Nick Taylor-Vaisey Mike Lake Adam Sweet

This is a thrill! Our Playbook is a lot of fun and a lot of work and a lot of fun. And the readers? They keep us humming. This is a big hono(u)r over here.

This morning, we also sold out our June trivia night in four hours. Another thrill!

I’m very excited to finally share, as announced in the Ottawa Playbook this morning, that I’m joining Politico Canada!
