Hub Dialogues

Minister of Transport and Government House Leader Steve MacKinnon discusses Bill C-39, legislation aimed at reforming Canada's major project permitting and regulatory system. He explains why he believes the bill will accelerate project approvals, improve labour negotiations, and strengthen supply chains. MacKinnon outlines the government's goals of economic growth and trade diversification, addresses lessons from past regulatory failures, and defends the Liberal Party's centrist approach to balancing more progressive interests while advancing pro-growth policies.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:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Grant Sprague, a former Alberta deputy energy minister, breaks down Pacific Link—the new name for Alberta's proposed West Coast oil pipeline—and what its national-interest designation actually means. He explains why the project is still not a done deal, why next spring's open season could be the first real test of industry appetite, and why the headline price tag may not capture the full cost. We also get into Roberts Bank, Pathways, labour constraints, and whether governments are now building the market rather than waiting for the market to build the pipeline.The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe 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)Want more Hub?

Monte Solberg, former MP and cabinet minister under Stephen Harper, makes the conservative case for why Alberta should stay in Canada. Harkening back to his days in the Reform Party, he argues that “reform never ends”—and that real governance is less about defeating your opponents and more about doing what's best for the people. Solberg speaks from the heart about why Canada is more than an economic arrangement—and why citizenship is also about what you are willing to contribute to the country you belong to.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine whether Prime Minister Mark Carney is governing as a conservative despite his Liberal Party affiliation. They analyze his policy reversals on the carbon tax, pipeline approvals, capital gains cuts, and regulatory reform—all resembling Harper-era positions. They explore whether Carney is genuinely conservative, an opportunist seeking global relevance, or simply returning the Liberal Party to its traditional centrist brokerage politics after the progressive Trudeau era, and what this means for Conservative opposition strategy.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)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsSean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Noah Shack, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, discusses the Yom Kippur shooting at a Belleville synagogue that nearly became a mass-casualty event. He examines how inadequate federal security funding leaves smaller Jewish communities vulnerable, the role of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in fuelling radicalization, and Canada's double standard in foreign policy toward Israel. Shack argues that government rhetoric contributes to an environment enabling extremism, threatening not only Jewish Canadians but Canada's fundamental values and way of life.This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.

Sean Speer, co-founder and editor-at-large at The Hub, joins Rudyard Griffiths to analyze the Carney government's unconventional governing approach as Parliament returns. They examine how Prime Minister Mark Carney operates outside traditional parliamentary constraints, announcing major policies through executive action rather than legislative process. The discussion explores the challenges facing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in opposing a government that bypasses Parliament, the strategic dilemma of opposing for opposition's sake, and whether Parliament's institutional power is being fundamentally diminished by executive-led governance.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)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsSean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Joey Suri, a lawyer with Gowling WLG who specializes in airport infrastructure, breaks down Ottawa's plan to open Canada's four largest airports to private investment through so-called “long-term concessions.” He explains why airports appeal to pension funds, how the proposed model differs from simply selling public assets, and what Canada can learn from Australia's experience. We also dig into the trade-offs, including how the government could raise tens of billions upfront while protecting passengers from higher fees.

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the Carney government's investment summit and European diplomatic overtures. They critique the summit's "Laurentian capitalism" approach—where government acts as matchmaker for private capital—while praising accompanying policy reforms like permanent capital expensing and airport privatization. The discussion examines tensions between fiscal discipline and ambitious spending, questions Canada's proposed European integration, and explores growing speculation about a snap federal election. They debate whether Carney's recent initiatives reflect genuine economic reform or political positioning ahead of a potential early campaign.If you are enjoying free versions 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:Daphne Liang - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Robson Fletcher joins Alberta Edge to unpack fresh polling from Abacus Data on how Albertans are weighing the risks and rewards of separation ahead of the October referendum. He explains why many Albertans can feel deeply attached to Canada while also feeling aggrieved by Alberta's place within it, and offers a composite sketch of the kind of voter most inclined to see separation as a risk worth taking. We also look at what voters think separation would mean for their finances, pensions, and cost of living—and whether turnout could materially shift the final result.

Carlo Dade, Daniel Ujczo, and Diego Marroquín Bitar discuss the Calgary Statement and the future of North American trade relations. They examine whether public support for trade extends to current agreements, the tension between economic efficiency and national sovereignty, and why Mexico-Canada cooperation is essential. They address energy integration as a unifying force, the need for new voices in trade policy, and how to ensure continental integration delivers tangible benefits beyond elite policy circles.This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary.

Adam Legge, one of the key expert advisers who reviewed a highly anticipated, government-commissioned cost-benefit analysis of Alberta independence, sits down with host Falice Chin to break down the top-line numbers. Fresh off the press, the report models two dramatically different futures: a “smooth” separation that produces modest gains only after decades of disruption, and a “difficult” one marked by deep economic losses, lower wages, higher taxes, and soaring debt. Legge, who heads the Business Council of Alberta, explains why he believes even a less severe outcome somewhere in the middle may not be worth the risk—and why many of the variables at play are beyond Alberta's control.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a Palestinian American and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, discusses his childhood in Gaza, surviving an Israeli airstrike at age 11, and losing 31 family members since the conflict unleashed after October 7th. He argues that Hamas has devastated Palestinian prospects using armed resistance. He advocates instead for "radical pragmatism"—accepting Israel is here to stay, abandoning right of return, and pursuing nation-building over violence. Alkhatib also calls out Israeli policies and Netanyahu's leadership, describing their major missteps during the war, that has come at the cost of thousands of civilians.This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.

Gitane De Silva, former diplomat and current head of the University of Alberta's Peter Lougheed School of Politics and Democracy, takes us behind the scenes of Canada-U.S. diplomacy—from figuring out who really has Donald Trump's ear to understanding how Jamieson Greer and Howard Lutnick are speaking to very different audiences. She explains the art of making Canada's case to Americans—and why Danielle Smith's outreach to the president's supporters may be more valuable than critics acknowledge. And while the public rhetoric suggests both sides are dug in, De Silva says the signs point to plenty of quiet diplomacy still underway.

Joseph Wong, vice president of international at the University of Toronto, discusses how universities navigate geopolitical turbulence while building global partnerships. He examines the concept of "variable geometry" in diplomacy, universities as Canada's "infrastructure of solidarity," and the critical role of trust in international relations. Wong addresses research security challenges, the need for deeper university-business collaboration, and argues that universities must articulate their value proposition as contributors to economic prosperity, democratic discourse, and societal advancement in an era of unprecedented change.This episode is presented in partnership with the University of Toronto.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.

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the Canada-U.S. trade war's impact on Canadian politics. They examine Prime Minister Mark Carney's rising popularity and whether it stems from his personal appeal or voters rallying around incumbents during crisis. They also debate Pierre Poilievre's strategic challenges as opposition leader during a national emergency, his recent U.S. media tour, and whether he should shift from daily combat to articulating a broader governing philosophy.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:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Giacomo Prandelli, the Switzerland-based founder of The Merchant's News, explains why Brent crude's return above $100 may be different this time, as the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve runs low, refineries run hard, and the Houthis threaten the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, another major Middle East shipping route. He also explores China's potential return to the oil market—and where Canadian crude fits into an increasingly strained global energy system amid our trade war with the U.S. The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe 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) Want more Hub?

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the low quality of debate in Canada regarding Prime Minister Carney's approach to the ongoing trade war with the United States. The country would be in a much healthier place, they argue, if there were more latitude for constructive pushback rather than labelling any dissent to the government's approach as disloyalty. They also preview next week's upcoming Canada Investment Summit.If you enjoyed free versions 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:Daphne Liang - Producer and Video Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Ian Lee, associate professor at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business, argues Canada's retaliatory tariff strategy against the United States is fundamentally flawed. He contends that Canada's vastly smaller economy and heavy trade dependence on American trade make it far more vulnerable in a prolonged trade war. Lee advocates for returning to negotiations with the Trump administration, while simultaneously pursuing domestic structural reforms including eliminating interprovincial trade barriers, developing natural resources, and reducing corporate tax rates to strengthen Canada's economic position. He warns that Trump could cancel CUSMA in its entirety.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:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorHarrison Lowman - HostJustin Tang/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Stephen Frank, President and CEO of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, discusses how Canada's life and health insurers manage over a trillion dollars in long-term assets and can play a crucial role in addressing the country's infrastructure deficit. He explains what makes projects "investable" from an insurer's perspective, why Canadian capital flows abroad, and how regulatory certainty and government policy reforms could unlock significant private investment in nation-building projects, defence assets, and critical infrastructure across Canada.This episode is presented in partnership with the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association.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:Alisha Rao - Producer and EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Nate Glubish, Alberta's Minister of Technology and Innovation, makes the case for why the province can become Canada's “compute capital” without sacrificing grid reliability, affordable power, or water. He explains what comes next now that the first 1,200 megawatts of grid capacity for data centres is effectively spoken for—and responds to concerns that new large-load demand could squeeze existing industries or simply shift the bottleneck from electricity to natural gas. Then we zoom out: if Alberta becomes home to much of Canada's AI infrastructure, could “compute security” give the province the same kind of strategic importance—and leverage—as its energy resources?This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Andrew Hale, senior fellow at Advancing American Freedom, discusses the fracturing of American conservatism and the rise of post-liberalism within the Republican Party. He examines the ideological tensions between traditional free-market conservatives and the emerging nationalist-protectionist wing represented by figures like JD Vance, exploring how Catholic integralism and economic populism are reshaping the Right. Hale defends classical liberal principles while analyzing the political forces driving America's shift away from the post-Cold War consensus on trade, markets, and global leadership.This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. From the shifting ideologies of the new Right and the new Left in the U.S., this multi-month series will bring Canadians inside debates on trade, globalization, and power that are likely to shape America's policy direction—and Canada's interests—for the years and decades to come.The New North America Initiative is generously funded in part by the Government of Alberta.Learn more about the initiative: https://newnorthamerica.org.The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this multimedia content do not necessarily represent those of the New North America Initiative, the School of Public Policy, or the University of Calgary.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the Trump administration's latest tariff escalation against Canada, examining the shift from broad tariffs to targeted sectoral measures and procurement restrictions. They debate whether Canada should continue retaliating or seek an off-ramp, discussing the asymmetry between the two economies and the risks of prolonged conflict. They explore how Canada's industrial structure could be fundamentally reshaped if the Carney government plans to wait until after the 2028 presidential election for another president more inclined to improving economic relationships, and question why domestic economic reforms remain absent from the national conversation.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:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsAdrian Wyld/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
