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.

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."
