Dispatch from the Front Line: Canada may not be broken, but Ottawa sure is

On a surprisingly modest deal. A really bad idea. A very worrying sign. And a very sad anniversary.

Hello, Line readers. We hope you're having a great weekend. Lots to cover this week, so we'll get right into it, but as a reminder: our sale is down to its final hours. If you had stopped subscribing at some point, got zapped by an expiring credit card or have simply been on the fence about signing up, we hope our special offer entices you. There's a ton of good stuff below, including reaction to the pharmacare announcement, more porn talk, reflections on two years of war in Ukraine, and why we think Ottawa, at the very least, is totally broken.

But you'll only read any of it if you hit the little blue button below, because we put everything else behind the paywall. Why? Cuz our kids gotta eat, that's why!

Something you can enjoy for free? This week's dispatch video!
