And this is why I support @the_lineca. I often disagree with @Justin_Ling but he’s a hell of a writer and journalist. For @jengerson and @mattgurney to send him to @Columbia is pure genius. open.substack.com/pub/theline/p/…
We sent @Justin_Ling to Columbia University to give us a sense of vibes on a campus some have claimed has gotten out of control with pro-Palestinian encampments. Is that what he saw? open.substack.com/pub/theline/p/…
Probably not, no.
That seems to me to be true of literally any democracy in which a CEO could allocate capital.

My latest in @the_lineca. About that press conference … “Don’t let message discipline blind you to the moral imperative of this moment. Answers like what Freeland gave on Monday are a waste of her power and influence and a dereliction of moral duty.” readtheline.ca/p/matt-gurney-…
Not all science is good.

Alternative take: No there isn't.
Btw, this was a blast and and I can't thank everyone who turned out enough!

@jengerson The polls are suggesting that he's a few years late to recover; he should have anointed a successor after the last election. At this point, they seem to be on track for decimation, and any potential replacement would be smart to let Trudeau take the brunt of the loss.
