- New from @jengerson at The Line: "These guys haven't been able to balance the books for almost a generation despite running the richest province in the country. We're calling in the army to help with COVID-19. You want them running your police or pension?" theline.substack.com/p/jen-gerson-e…

- Just up at The Line: @mattgurney on how Trudeau will probably not pay a political price for skipping the Uyghur genocide vote, but as he himself will know, he'll certainly pay a price in the eyes of history. In 100 years, who'll apologize for Trudeau? theline.substack.com/p/matt-gurney-…
- New at The Line, from @jengerson: You have to live here for a while to feel that bone-deep distinction between conservationism and environmentalism. Kenney tried to come between Albertans and their mountains to mine coal ... and it ended badly for him. theline.substack.com/p/jen-gerson-k…
- Today at The Line: @Pagmenzies asks, if the CBC was created to provide a bulwark against American cultural imperialism, why is it spending so much of its time on Donald Trump and other bête noires of the U.S. left? theline.substack.com/p/peter-menzie…
