Hello, Line readers. We hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. It’s a bit of a mixed bag for the dispatch this week. It was an unusual week in the sense that there was a lot happening in the news, but not a lot of it was a natural fit for Canadian commentary. Sometimes in our line of work all we can really do is sit back and enjoy the work being done by our betters — reporters. We had a lot of reading to do this week, that’s for sure.
