Dispatch from the Front Lines: MAGA has a martyr

On a remarkable response from America's right. A poor showing on America's left. On the MPO here, and air defences in Poland.

Hey all. Hope you’re making the best of the weekend.

As ever, to help prime the pump for this dispatch, you should check out the latest episode of The Line Podcast. Many thanks to Rob Breakenridge for filling in for Jen Gerson, who was trying to get home to Calgary — and it’s a good thing Rob did fill in. Jen ended up getting air-travelled and got home a full day late!

So enjoy that episode, and also be sure to check out this week’s episode of On The Line, where where Matt Gurney and Stephanie Levitz from the Globe and Mail chat about the early challenges for Mark Carney, the fine line Pierre Poilievre is walking on immigration, and the laughable — literally — state of the NDP.

Please follow us on YouTube or your preferred podcasting app, and on our social media sites (find all of those at the bottom of this post). Don’t miss an episode!

Actually do these things! Do not let your eyes glaze over and slide past this. It helps us! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

And now, after a dramatic pause during which we assume you all did what we asked above, on with the dispatch.
