Minor style point, but I find it distracting when Canadian sources refer to the U.S. President as "the president." Since I live in a country that doesn't have a president, but worked at a college that does, "the president" always confuses me wonder for a second why you're talking about my old boss. I realize The Line's mission statement specifically mentioned Canadian and U.S. politics, but I assume you'll cover other relevant international news. In which case, will Emmanual Macron also be "the president"? Seems confusing. I know the U.S. is bigger and closer, but politically we have roughly the same relationship with both countries.

Not a fan of the man, but the gleefulness and sheer inhumane cheering for his death today are rather disturbing. We should not turn into a version of that which we detest. I thought I'd be mostly indifferent to the news, but find myself actually wishing him well.
