Dispatch from the Front Lines: Toronto's ghost train emerges from pit of mysterious silence

The Conservatives keep their leader; the Ontario government speaks no evil; and the rockets ride again.

Who hath heard tell of the Eglinton LRT?

Well, wouldn’t you know it — it’s the latest Line dispatch. Before we get into it, please check out last week’s The Line Podcast. Also check out last week’s On The Line with Jen and Greg Jack from Ipsos Public Affairs, where they discuss the actual level of support for separatism in western Canada.

As we mentioned in our podcast on Friday, someone created a fake account with Matt Gurney’s name and photo on Substack and began sending messages to Line readers asking for personal contact info. That account has been deleted, and Gurney wants to send apologies to anyone who was targeted. For clarity, this account is his main Substack account. He also has an alternate private account here. Any other account is a fraud. Please report it. Sorry again for the trouble, and thanks to everyone who warned us.

Otherwise, like, subscribe, help us out, share the good word, etc. Your efforts really do move the needle for us. Pitch in if you can.

And with that, let’s get to the dispatch.
