Thanks for all you do and write, Matt and Jenn. I’ve been a paid subscriber for nearly 5 years, and I am grateful for the clarity you and your contributing editors provide. As you said, I don’t agree with everything I’ve read, but I know they’re written in good faith and not intended to rage-farm. Outfits like yours are becoming more and more essential in an increasingly chaotic world and news ecosystem.
Merry Christmas to both you and your families, enjoy your show very much, and on a very important problem we share Jen- l also HATE Canadian butter……we should be able have access to so much better……Happy, happy 2026!
Two Line lines in this piece that made me SOL (Smile Out Loud):
'We are coming upon a collective realization that we can’t continue to run our country like third-generation burnout children who have inherited a declining Super 8 on the TransCan.'
and
'Sorry.'
Merry Christmas to our Line Editors and fellow Subscribers from an occasionally terrible longtime Line Subscriber (and commenter).
I have been with The Line for a while and truly appreciate you. Thank you for all the hard work you do to help all of us understand Canada better. Merry Christmas to everyone here in the comments section and to Matt,Jen, their families, and all the writers at The Line. Thank you.
Merry Christmas from south of the border to Matt and Jen and The Line Editor, whoever you are.
Part of being a responsible citizen in 2025 is finding and supporting independent journalists who love their country and do their best to make the truth become known. The alternative is to let our journalists get a paycheck from the government or pharma corporations. Thank you for sacrificing the life of easy money in order to report whatever is winding you up at the moment.
I dearly want Canada to thrive and become a grown-up country. It is my pleasure to support your little pirate radio station. Thank you to your families for giving up their kitchen and... closet? for studios so you can keep on dispatching. God bless you, enjoy your time off and see you next year.

This sentence right here is why I subscribe and love you guys. Merry Christmas!

Ditto.
You are keeping us sane. Appreciated and Valued. Rob
All the best of the season to you both, Jenn, Matt (and Rob!). You are singular voices.
I have never regretted subscribing to The Line.
Well done.
I’ve been quietly thinking that things are going to get worse before they start to get better. Thanks for confirming that assessment.
And thank you being who you are, Jenn and Matt. Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and the peace of the season to you and your families.
I’m happy to be part of this community of readers.
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas, kids. Best analysis of #cdnpoli et al, laced with wit and wisdom. So NOT unsufferable. Long may you run.
