JEN GERSON
Jen Gerson | Co-Founder of The Line & Canadian Political Journalist
Jen Gerson is a Canadian journalist, political commentator, and co-founder of The Line — one of Canada's most widely read independent political publications with over 29,000 subscribers. Alberta-based and unapologetically direct, Gerson has contributed to CBC, National Post, Maclean's, The Walrus, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. Her work spans investigative reporting, political commentary, and cultural analysis — from exposing the funding behind Alberta's separatist movement to covering the Liberal convention floor with the kind of irreverence that makes powerful people uncomfortable. She co-hosts two weekly podcasts at The Line alongside Matt Gurney.
Why HTN Features This Voice
Jen Gerson calls it as she sees it — across party lines, across regions, and without apology. In a media landscape where western voices are chronically underrepresented, she brings Alberta's political complexity to a national audience while holding every corner of the political spectrum accountable. HTN features Jen Gerson because Canada needs journalists who aren't afraid to be right and unpopular at the same time.
