July 1, 2026 | Andrew Potter marks Canada Day in The Line by reading the latest polling on Canadian pride. Abacus Data shows pride back up to 77%, matching 1985 levels after cratering to 34% when Justin Trudeau left office, even as the country's core arguments over identity and symbols remain unresolved. Potter reads this as a hopeful sign that "Canadians are a people despite themselves," closing with the wry suggestion that the answer to a perpetually contested Canada Day is simply to "bring a bigger flag."

July 3, 2026 | Andrew Potter marks America's 250th birthday in a Globe and Mail op-ed reading Trump's foreign policy through the lens of professional wrestling. Potter argues the Oval Office ambush of Volodymyr Zelensky was America's "Bash at the Beach moment," when the world's most reliable babyface visibly turned heel. He traces Trump's decades-long ties to WWE storytelling to explain the character now shaping American foreign policy: "the nativist heel whose contempt for the audience is disguised as an appeal to their self-interest."

June 20, 2026 | Pearl Eliadis joined Weekends with Rob Fai to unpack Quebec's newly passed Bill 4, the Gabby Renaud Law, which comes into force in December and will allow people at risk of intimate partner violence to request information about a partner's police or corrections history. Modelled in part on the UK's Clare's Law, the Quebec version stands out from similar disclosure regimes already in place in Alberta and Saskatchewan by pairing "the right to ask and the right to know" with a support component for people once they receive that information.
