OK, maybe Canada is a little bit broken.

Hello Friends!

We are back in our second week of operation here at The Line, with a plan to re-start all our podcasts this week. We have great interviews lined up on everything from Venezuela to antisemitism in Canada. Of course, only a few hours passed before we moved on to our next major international situation in Iran — and you can be assured that your Line editors are frantically getting the latest on student protests, underlying economic conditions, and regime change and we expect to have something to say about all that by Tuesday morning at the latest.

Meanwhile, we focus your attention to a few highlights here at home. Enjoy!
