Sharp, independent commentary for Canadians — now with a focus on the west.
The Line: Alberta is the first provincial edition of The Line, one of Canada’s leading platforms for fiercely independent news and commentary. We’re bringing the same clarity, depth, rigour and even humour to Alberta’s politics, economy, and culture — without government subsidies, spin, or partisan marching orders.
We believe Alberta matters — not just to Albertans, but to the country as a whole. There are stories Alberta needs to tell — to Albertans and to Canadians writ large. There are also things Albertans need to hear. This is where we will tell those stories and speak those truths.
If you’re tired of the noise and ready for something smarter, you’re in the right place.
Sign up today. All content on The Line: Alberta will be free to read, but you can sign up for a paid account to show us your support. It is appreciated!
