    Great Entrance to Canadian Politics
    As an American who has been an avid listener/reader of Nate Silver and 538, I’ve often been looking for something similar for my neighbors to the North. Enter Éric and The Writ! Éric is funny and smart, making a very enjoyable podcast that also provides serious, in-depth coverage of Canadian elections. I especially enjoy the Every Election Ever series at the end of the episodes. The Writ is certainly worth a sub if you have any interest in knowing what exactly is going on up North of the 49th parallel.
