Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government's new majority and examine how Conservative MPs are abandoning their opposition role for constituency funding. They raise concerns about parliamentary tradition and democratic principles, questioning whether this represents a broader failure in Canadian political culture and civics understanding. They also consider the implications for Pierre Poilievre's leadership and the Conservative Party's future strategy. In the second half, they analyze the Toronto Maple Leafs' disastrous season not simply as a sports failure, but emblematic of deeper issues plaguing Canadian business culture. They explore how the franchise exemplifies Laurentian capitalism and management's unwillingness to make bold decisions or admit fundamental mistakes, mirroring broader corporate malaise in Canada.If you are enjoying the free version of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Krista Rabidoux, managing director at Andersen in Canada, explains how tax policy shapes the flow of talent and capital between Canada and the United States. In this episode of Alberta Edge, she outlines why lower thresholds for high incomes, tighter reinvestment rules, and fewer tax-free gains in Canada can create a “hoarding” mentality and limit entrepreneurs' ability to scale. Yet in a moment of political volatility, Rabidoux argues Canada's greatest advantage may be its predictability—and that, with a few targeted changes, it could help reverse the outflow.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

In this episode of Alberta Edge, he argues that in Brooks—a rural, southeastern Alberta city of 16,000 people that anchors a significant share of the country's beef processing—TFWs arriving today are part of the same migration story that has shaped Canada for generations.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the 14-day Iran war ceasefire and the geopolitical implications following negotiations. They analyze reports suggesting the Trump administration will allow Iran to control and toll the Strait of Hormuz, potentially ending the longstanding guarantee of free navigation. They argue that this concession would strengthen China's influence on the region, undermine American credibility globally, and possibly mark a historic turning point signaling the end of Pax Americana and post-Second World War globalization.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsKamran Jebreili/AP Photo File - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Caroline Elliott explains why she should be the next leader of the BC Conservatives. She details why she believes the NDP is pushing the province "aggressively downwards," arguing schools should not be teaching children to denigrate Canadian history and that the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) must be repealed to restore certainty over land ownership.

They discuss the longer-term implications of the uncertain timeline, how it strengthens the business case for Canadian LNG, and the paradox of countries turning back to coal even as they race to expand renewable energy. They then explore regional price variations, potential demand destruction, and the broader implications for food security and the global economy.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorFalice Chin - HostLeo Correa/AP Photo - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Jennifer Keesmaat, former chief city planner of Toronto and president and CEO of Collecdev Markee, argues that Canada's housing crisis is a systemic failure requiring structural transformation—not incremental reform. She highlights modern construction methods, including modular housing, cross-laminated timber, and AI-integrated design, as key to building at the speed and scale needed. Keesmaat also explains why coordinated reform across governments, capital markets, and supply chains is essential to making factory-built housing a core part of Canada's housing system.This episode is presented in partnership with ATCO Structures.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Elia Gross - Producer and EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer debate Canada's potential involvement in reopening the Strait of Hormuz following Foreign Minister Anita Anand's visit to Saudi Arabia. They examine whether Canadian participation would serve national interests or merely act as clean up after Trump's actions in the Middle East. They challenge the Carney government's approach to foreign policy, questioning Canada's willingness to support authoritarian Gulf states with troubling human rights records, while seemingly abandoning traditional Canadian values in international relations.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsRafiq Maqbool/AP Photo - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

The former Torontonian now Israeli explores rising anti-Semitism in Canada and how Jews should respond, the mainstream media's shift from objective journalism to activism, and his new book Out of the Sky which details the death-defying efforts of Jewish parachutists who jumped back into Nazi Europe during the Second World War.

Greg McLean, Conservative MP for Calgary Centre, says Canada's economy is "faltering," and that fixing it will require more than great speeches and good intentions. As chair of the Conservative Party's economic growth council, McLean has spent the past several months consulting business leaders across the country on what's holding back investment, productivity, and growth. He joins Alberta Edge to discuss the group's findings, including the role of manufacturing, critical minerals, pipelines, trade, and carbon pricing—and why the debate over Canada's economic future is far from settled in Prime Minister Mark Carney's first year in office.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer dissect Ontario's massive budget deficit and Canada's broader fiscal crisis. They examine how governments across the country are abandoning fiscal discipline, relying on deficit spending rather than organic economic growth. In the second half, they explore the collapse of entrepreneurship in Canada, the concentration of economic activity in government, and how an increasingly narrow tax base enables unsustainable spending. They argue this represents a fundamental shift away from economic freedom and individual autonomy toward European-style state dependency.

Former B.C. cabinet minister Iain Black argues why he should be the next leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Black discusses his vision for addressing British Columbia's growing challenges, including its $13.3 billion dollar deficit, the worst housing crisis in the country, safety concerns around drug abuse, and questions around property rights following a landmark court decision around Indigenous title. Black insists his experience in power will be what unites B.C.'s fractured conservative movement.

Alberta Edge's Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin say missing some of the April 1 deadlines tied to the federal–provincial MOU does not necessarily mean a bitumen pipeline to the West Coast is off the table. They argue the pipeline process is now running on a separate but related track from the Pathways Plus carbon capture proposal. The two political strategists believe Prime Minister Mark Carney still has time—and political runway—to turn this into both an economic and national unity project. However, the opportunity won't last forever. This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald. The Hub thanks him for his ongoing support.

This week, The Hub gathered readers and listeners in Ottawa's National Arts Centre for a live conversation between Sean Speer, The Hub's co-founder and editor-at-large, and David Frum, leading author, thinker, and journalist. The two discussed the escalating U.S.–Iran conflict, the erosion of institutional guardrails in Donald Trump's second term, and the implications for Canada. Frum argued that we're witnessing a fundamental rupture in the international order that requires Canada to think and act like a middle power navigating between three potentially hostile giants.
