Canada’s Top News Junkie Brian Mulroney Reads The Macdonald Notebook – Do you? Here Are Some Reader Endorsements:
The other day, the Montreal law office for former Progressive Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney renewed his Notebook subscription.
Mulroney has been a faithful paid reader since my launch four years ago in 2017.
When he called that year to give me his credit card for a subscription, I actually said: ‘Oh, Mr. Prime Minister, you can have it for free”, because I thought it neat the country’s top political junkie wanted to read my Business & Inside Political Coverage.
Brian Mulroney reads The Macdonald Notebook, do you? The former Tory Prime Minister is in this file photo with St. FX students Margaret Elliotte (left) and Emma Lotte (right). The Notebook photo.
His response, as I recall it: “Oh, no, you are a new business person, a new entrepreneur and I want to support your business”.
NS Giants of Journalism also read my Macdonald Notebook.
Here are some of these scribes endorsements:
Al Hollingsworth is a Giant of NS Political & Sports Journalism.
His 50-year-plus news career continues today, as he hosts shows on CIOE not for profit community radio station, based in Lower Sackville.
In the 1980s, he was the lead NS Political Journalist of that era, writing what was then a must-read political gossip column in the old Halifax Daily News.
Al Hollingsworth, a 50-year long NS Political Journalist says: “The Notebook is a must-read”.
Here is what Hollingsworth says of his Macdonald Notebook reading experience:
“If you’re into business & politics, the Port of Halifax, The Macdonald Notebook is a must-read.
“You have some wonderful connections, and I would never ask who they are – but you do have some great insight into business & politics, and it shines in your writings.
“The Notebook is a must-read, I read it every day you publish”.
And, here is what another lead NS Giant of Political Journalism, Jim Vibert, Halifax Herald & Saltwire Network columnist, says of my journalism:
“Hi Andrew: Just wanted to send along a note to say that I’m more than impressed with the continued success of The Macdonald Notebook, and by your incredible proficiency.
The great Halifax Herald Political Journalist had a major influence on my 32-year long journalism career, when I was a teenaged Herald paperboy, I would read his 1982-1986 Herald columns. I was supposed to become a third-generation road builder. (Halifax Herald photo).
“The quality and number of great stories you deliver week after week tell me you must be doing well”

And, here is what another Halifax Herald journalist, the able and talented Chris Lambie says of The Notebook:
“Andrew, your newsletters keep getting better and better. Congratulations on carrying your energy for reporting to a platform of your own”.
