Six Months and 1,000 Subscribers: Celebrating Do Not Pass Go Milestones!

Canadian SHIELD Institute director Vass Bednar and The Hatchet host Arshy Mann join us to grade the Carney government's performance on competition issues so far

This week we’re celebrating a pair of milestones here at Do Not Pass Go: We’ve officially hit both the six-month and the 1,000-subscriber marks!

Our quick growth tells us there’s a big appetite for what we’re doing here, which is reporting on and elevating the profile of competition, affordability and consumer issues in Canada.

That’s great news, because we’re just getting started – there’s so much more to come.

Join us on this very special episode of the podcast for a look back at some of the highlights and stats from the past six months, plus a look forward at what’s next.

Plus, in between, we’re joined by Vass Bednar, director of the Canadian SHIELD Institute sovereignty think tank, and Arshy Mann, host of The Hatchet podcast and Substack, for a report card on how the “hawkish” Carney government is doing so far on competition issues.

Along with Denise Hearn, Vass is the co-author of the 2024 book The Big Fix, while Arshy in 2022/2023 produced Canadaland’s monopoly podcast series, both of which were the inspiration for Do Not Pass Go.

What better way to celebrate our milestones than a conversation with grandma and grandpa!

Check out the Canadian SHIELD Institute here and The Hatchet here.
