Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Gordie Howe Bridge dispute and the deteriorating Canada-U.S. relationship. They analyze competing interpretations of the toll-sharing agreement between Ottawa and Washington and question whether Prime Minister Carney's conciliatory approach is sustainable. They also examine Canada's pattern of making concessions without securing reciprocal gains, the risks of Carney's middle-power coalition strategy, and whether his handling of the bilateral relationship warrants reassessment as trade negotiations stall.In the second half, they are joined by Andrew Coyne for a special collaboration with the Munk Debates. They discuss Coyne's recent column on the state of Canadian conservatism, debating whether the movement has substituted aggression for substantive policy ideas. They also explore conservative insecurity after extended periods out of federal power, the tension between temperament and ideology, and Pierre Poilievre's leadership challenges.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 Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

The United States confirmed it was not going to renew the Canada-US-Mexico agreement in its current form for another 16 years. Farm Credit Canada is one of many groups paying extra attention to the July 1st deadline.In preparation, FCC released a report in June on what would happen if the agreement were not renewed. FCC Vice-president and Chief Economist Craig Johnston says included in the report are the impacts U.S. tariffs have had on Gross Domestic Product and business confidence over the last year, as well as how it could impact the Bank of Canada interest rate.ANDA national cattle group is not shocked by the U.S. deciding not to renew the Canada-U.S,-Mexico agreement on trade in its current version.Tyler Fulton - President of the Canadian Cattle Association - says this is what he expected to happen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NATO summit in Turkey wraps as U.S. President Donald Trump declares the ceasefire deal with Iran is over following an exchange of strikes between the nations. Power & Politics speaks with former U.S. permanent representative to NATO Ivo Daalder.

Season 10 of Disruptors asked one question, in a lot of different ways: does Canada have what it takes—the tools, the ambition and the will—to  compete in the economy being built right now? For the season finale, John Stackhouse took that question to the RBC and Eurasia Group US-Canada Summit, where 500 leaders spent a day debating the most important economic relationship in the world. He came back with two conversations that, together, amount to an answer. Colonel Jeremy Hansen, the first Canadian to travel into deep space, talks about what you see from the Moon, what it taught him about collaboration and self-reliance, and why the Canada-U.S. relationship is worth fighting for. Michael Sabia, Clerk of the Privy Council, discusses the hand Canada holds right now and why this is a moment for ambition, not anxiety. Recorded live.

What is really happening behind closed doors between Canada and the United States?  In this episode of Citizen, David Craig and Jeremy Prest sit down with independent White House journalist Lyndsay Keith to break down the state of Canada–U.S. relations, including trade tensions, the CUSMA agreement, and how President Trump is shaping global negotiations.  Lyndsay offers an inside look at life in the Oval Office, how Trump approaches diplomacy and leverage, and why issues like manufacturing, trade deficits, and global conflicts are driving U.S. decision-making.  The conversation also explores broader geopolitical tensions involving Iran, Israel, and global shipping routes, and what it all means for Canada's place on the world stage.  Finally, they discusses how media narratives shape public perception of the United States, and why the reality on the ground often looks very different from what audiences are told. 

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss President Trump's decision not to renew CUSMA and its implications. They examine the Trump administration's shift toward tariffs as a fiscal and economic strategy, driven by America's deteriorating debt situation. They also explore whether Canada should negotiate now or wait until after U.S. midterms, the likelihood of additional tariffs despite existing trade protections, and how the Carney government should respond to mounting economic uncertainty and manufacturing job losses.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 Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer- HostsChristopher Katsarov/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

In the Season 6 regular season finale of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois welcome Pete Hoekstra, United States Ambassador to Canada, for an exclusive and wide-ranging conversation about the future of Canada-U.S. food trade, agriculture, supply chains and North American economic cooperation. While The Food Professor Podcast isn't a political show, few relationships matter more to Canada's food economy than its partnership with the United States. Ambassador Hoekstra offers a candid look at his role representing the Trump administration in Ottawa, explains the work of a modern ambassador, and shares his perspective on the ongoing CUSMA (USMCA) review, agricultural trade priorities, supply management, cross-border investment, and strengthening North American food supply chains. The discussion explores why resilient supply chains have become a strategic priority, the importance of Canadian agricultural exports to American consumers, opportunities for future collaboration in critical minerals, energy, manufacturing and food production, and how both countries can continue building one of the world's largest and most integrated trading relationships. The conversation also tackles the Gordie Howe International Bridge, provincial restrictions on U.S. alcohol sales, touches on Canada's supply management system, and the broader outlook for Canada-U.S. relations as negotiations continue. Whether you agree or disagree with the Ambassador's positions, this thoughtful interview provides listeners with valuable insight into how the United States views its relationship with Canada and why food, agriculture and trade remain central to that partnership. Before the interview, Michael and Sylvain break down another busy week in food and agriculture news. They examine how El Niño-driven heat and drought could affect crop production and food prices, discuss the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's latest report on their crackdown on food fraud and product authenticity, review the Grocery Code of Conduct's first public report, and explore the growing global demand for dairy protein as processors struggle with whey shortages amid Canada's supply management system. The episode also covers Rhode Island's new self-checkout legislation, the ongoing Metro labour dispute in Quebec, innovative flavour marketing from Miss Vickie's, and reflects on another remarkable season of conversations with leaders from across Canada's food, retail and agriculture sectors.

Yesterday, Canada, the United States and Mexico came together to discuss the mandatory review of their trade agreement, CUSMA. The discussion isn't a hard deadline, more of a checkpoint to see where all countries are, and if one were to exit the agreement, that process could take up to 10 years. While Canada and Mexico have stated they'd like to continue the 16-year agreement, the U.S. aren't exactly on the same page. Lawrence Herman, counsel at Herman & Associates, a member of the Expert Group on Canada-U.S. Relations and a senior fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute in Toronto, joins guest host Brent Loucks to bring us up to speed on what you need to know about the CUSMA review.

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Podcast, host Stu Turley sits down with Thomas Land, CEO of Myriad Uranium and J2 Metals, to explore the geopolitical battle reshaping global energy. While China aggressively builds dozens of nuclear reactors to power its AI dominance, the United States remains frozen in time with just 94 reactors—a legacy of fear dating back to Three Mile Island. But the real story goes deeper: it's about uranium enrichment, Russian fuel subscriptions, Arctic shipping routes, and how $10 trillion spent on wind and solar could have transformed the world with nuclear power instead. Land breaks down the uranium fuel cycle, reveals why silver is the hottest commodity on Earth, and challenges conventional wisdom about energy policy, Canadian leverage and the hidden beneficiaries of decisions like the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation. This is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand the true drivers of energy security, geopolitical power, and why the nuclear renaissance is just beginning.Connect with Thomas on his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tdlamb/Check out Myriad Uranium https://myriaduranium.com/1. Uranium Industry & Nuclear EnergyThe podcast opens with an extensive discussion of uranium and the nuclear fuel cycle. Key points include:The uranium fuel cycle process (mining, conversion to uranium hexafluoride, enrichment via centrifuges, and fuel pellet creation)The distinction between uranium-235 (fissile, 0.7% of mined uranium) and uranium-238 (non-fissile, 99.3%)How uranium enrichment levels differ for civilian reactors (3-5%) vs. military/naval applications (higher concentrations)The U.S. has 94 active nuclear reactors while China is building dozens of new onesHistorical context: Three Mile Island (1979) halted U.S. nuclear expansion for decades2. Energy Geopolitics & Global CompetitionU.S. vs. China: China is winning the AI race partly because it has cheap electricity from nuclear power, while the U.S. lagsRussia's Nuclear Dominance: Russia exports nuclear reactors and maintains control through fuel bundle subscriptions and maintenance programsGermany's Energy Crisis: Germany shut down nuclear plants and coal plants, now relying on Russian gas—allegedly influenced by Russian geopolitical interestsEnergy Security: Control of Arctic shipping routes and LNG flows is critical to global power dynamics3. Renewable Energy vs. Nuclear Debate$10 trillion spent on wind and solar globally could have built 173+ additional nuclear reactors in the U.S. insteadDiscussion of the inefficiency and hidden costs of renewable energy production (coal pollution in China used to manufacture solar panels)The argument that nuclear is the most practical clean energy solution4. Silver Mining & Industrial MetalsThomas Land's second company, J2 Metals, operates a silver, gold, and antimony project in Mexico:Antimony is the hottest commodity globally, used in defense, advanced weapons, and fire retardantsSilver has tripled in price due to skyrocketing industrial demand (batteries, solar, servers, electrical equipment)Discussion of the gap between paper silver trading and physical silver delivery5. Canada-U.S. Relations & Energy TradeCanada's oil sands are critical to U.S. energy security, yet Canada underutilizes this leverageThe Keystone XL pipeline debate—Biden cancelled it on day one; speculation that railway companies (particularly Warren Buffett's interests) benefitedDiscussion of Canadian regulatory burden on oil drilling (which produces the cleanest oil in the world)Alberta's role in funding Canada vs. the reality that oil prices fluctuate6. Canadian vs. American Values & GovernanceCanada prioritizes "peace, order, and good government" vs. the U.S. "pursuit of happiness"Canadians have the wealthiest middle class globally and longer life expectancy, though fewer opportunities for extreme wealthDiscussion of different economic models and regulatory approaches between the two countries7. Geopolitical Strategy & DefenseArctic control and LNG pipeline politics (Siberia 2 pipeline negotiations)The suggestion that Canada should invite U.S. military bases (like Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany) to strengthen ties with the Trump administrationThe importance of not antagonizing the U.S. given Canada's military limitationsThe podcast essentially weaves together energy security, geopolitics, mining investments, and international relations, with uranium and silver as the central commodities driving global competition.Check out the Energy News Beat SubStack https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Alberta's going it alone...at least for now. The province will be the initial proponent of a new pipeline to the West Coast, according to The Globe and Mail. Premier Danielle Smith says the province will foot the $14M bill for early engineering, planning, and regulatory legwork before handing it off to the private sector...but is that likely to happen?

This episode initially aired on June 12, 2025. Following a recent CSIS Americas conference on U.S.-Canada security cooperation, this issue remains an important priority in the bilateral defense relationship. As a NATO and NORAD member, Canada plays a crucial role in North American continental defense. With the United States now pursuing an expanded continental missile defense posture dubbed the Golden Dome, the Canada-U.S. relationship may be entering a new phase. While the Golden Dome could prove beneficial in advancing Canada's security strategy, it remains unclear what Canada's involvement would actually look like, how much protection it would receive under the Golden Dome, and to what extent President Trump's annexation rhetoric will undermine the Canadian public's willingness to entertain the missile defense initiative. In this episode, Christopher Hernandez-Roy sits down with Phillippe Lagassé, Associate Professor with the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University. Together they discuss Canada's historical position on continental missile defense, changes to the threat landscape faced by Canada, and how the government of Prime Minister Mark Carney is approaching defense modernization priorities. They also discuss the effect of ongoing U.S.-Canada tensions on the likelihood that Canada will move forward with participation in the Golden Dome.

The Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement is officially up for review on Canada Day. While Canada and Mexico have expressed interest in renewing the pact, U.S. President Donald Trump says he might want the deal scrapped. Power & Politics hears from Ontario's representative in Washington David Paterson. Plus, the Alberta government is expected to submit a proposal for a new pipeline on that same day. The Power Panel weighs in.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge spans the most important border crossing between the U.S. and Canada.

As Canada, the U.S. and Mexico prepare to review the CUSMA deal, experts on both sides of the border take stock of where Canada-U.S. relations stand ahead of negotiations. We hear from economists, politicians, and Canadians about how Trump's tariffs are affecting their daily decisions.

Despite recent comments from U.S. President Donald Trump questioning whether the United States needs Canada or Mexico as trading partners, leaders from across North American agriculture remain firmly committed to preserving the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA/USMCA).

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on June 19th, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin with a foreign affairs roundup. Prime Minister Mark Carney heads to Ireland and France to strengthen ties with Europe while also trying to maintain a workable relationship with Donald Trump. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visits NATO and delivers some pointed criticism of allies that, while not directed at Canada by name, certainly sounds familiar. Your hosts also discuss the aftermath of America's confrontation with Iran. Matt argues that the United States has, in practical terms, suffered a defeat — an embarrassing outcome for Trump, but perhaps a useful lesson for the rest of us about the limits of military power.This episode is brought to you by Fractional Execs Canada.

Matt is increasingly worried that Doug Ford could inadvertently throw Canada-U.S. negotiations into chaos, and explains why. Jen provides an update from Alberta, where the political situation remains bizarre. By the end of the segment, both hosts arrive at a grim conclusion: the incentives facing almost every major political actor now reward escalation, confrontation, and nastiness. That rarely ends well.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by BioCanRx, a federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit research network helping Canadian researchers bring treatments from labs to patients in clinical trials –– all in Canada.Every day, your immune system finds and destroys different types of threats –– both external invaders like viruses, and internal dangers like pre-cancerous cells in your own body. But cancer can sometimes evade detection. Researchers are working to identify flags found on cancer cells, called antigens. By training your immune system to recognize these antigens, immunotherapy can help your immune system destroy cancer. In addition to funding clinical trials, BioCanRx supports research teams who identify these cancer antigens, and find new ways to target them. Many challenges remain — and we're working on solving them. You'll hear more over the summer.

Somehow, this journey involves gas pumps, brisket, beef jerky, the Soviet Union, and the defeat of Imperial Japan in 1945.

Prime Minister Mark Carney met with world leaders at the G7 in France, trying to position Canada in an increasingly uncertain global order, new questions are emerging about the country's economic stability and its most critical trade relationship. U.S. President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the future of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, saying "I'm not looking to renew it" and "we don't need anything that Canada has," with a key deadline approaching. How exposed is Canada if that deal unravels, and how should its foreign and economic strategy adapt?

Minister Marc Miller discusses the new social media ban for kids under 16. Plus, examining Canada-U.S. relations amid the delay of opening the new Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit.

The on-again-off-again opening of the Canada-U.S. Gordie Howe bridge is off again as U.S. President Trump repeats threats to kill CUSMA. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says those threats are an 'opportunity' to 'make us an offer.' CBC's Catherine Cullen, The Canadian Press deputy parliamentary bureau chief Mia Rabson and La Presse parliamentary bureau chief Joël-Denis Bellavance bring you inside the week's biggest political stories.

We break down why Canadian and U.S. officials are publicly sparring but privately keeping the relationship on track.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on June 12th, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin with an update from Alberta. Jen reviews Pierre Poilievre's recent speech on why Alberta belongs in Canada. She liked it, with some caveats. Matt was somewhat more encouraged. He also has a few sharp words for Liberals who seem determined to police the boundaries of acceptable federalism. His view is simple: if people are defending Canada, let them defend Canada. Not every argument for national unity needs to come packaged with Liberal talking points. From Toronto, Matt also reflects on a genuine tragedy this week — a police officer killed in the line of duty while confronting a problem that had been allowed to fester for far too long. It's difficult to discuss without emotion. In his view, it never should have ended this way. But, alas, it was always going to: even if the exact tragedy was unforeseen, a tragedy was inevitable. This episode is brought to you by Cameco. In nuclear energy, timelines and costs matter. Incomplete designs carry real risk of delays and cost overruns. That's why the AP1000 reactor is the right choice for Canada: it is already operating today and ready now to deliver the power we need, with 100 percent Canadian ownership and strong participation from Canadian suppliers. If we are serious about building Canada and powering it on time and on budget, the choice is clear. The AP1000 reactor is the only option that delivers.To learn more, visit ap1000.cameco.com.The hosts then take a very different turn. In what may be the strangest segment of the year, Jen reimagines 250 years of Canada-U.S. relations as a raunchy romantic comedy full of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and, yes, sex. Video viewers can watch Matt become increasingly horrified as the bit unfolds — not because he disagrees with the analysis, but because he finds himself unable to refute it.This episode is also brought to you by BioCanRx, a federally funded, not-for-profit Canadian research network that specializes in bringing Canadian cancer immunotherapy research from the lab all the way to patients in clinical trials in Canada. Immunotherapy is about assisting your immune system in identifying unhealthy cells –– especially cancer –– that have found a way to evade detection. One way researchers are doing this is through something called CAR T. They draw your blood, isolate one type of your immune cells –– T-Cells –– and use a virus to inject genetic instructions that cause them to grow new receptors designed specifically to find and destroy your particular cancer. In one of the 16 trials BioCanRx funds based on Canadian technology, CLIC-01, the median number of months remaining for patients with late-stage leukemia and lymphoma tripled. Some have been cancer free for years.You'll hear more over the summer. For now, go to BioCanRx.com to learn moreAfter that, the hosts wrap up with a discussion about children and social media. Both agree that kids probably shouldn't be spending their lives online. Their concern is that any attempt by the government to solve that problem could easily create several new ones. If recent experience is any guide, they aren't especially confident Ottawa can regulate this area without making a mess of it.All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the turbulent state of Canada-U.S. trade relations following President Trump's assertion that the United States does not need Canada or a renewed CUSMA. They also analyze the shift from Prime Minister Carney's "sovereignty economics" toward a "Fortress North America" approach, exploring whether it signals a recognition of Canada's limited options.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on May 29, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin with discussion of Prime Minister Mark Carney's trip to New York and the state of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. Your hosts debate whether Canada has actually surrendered ground in the talks or merely put an opening offer on the table. They also discuss Carney's popularity. Matt remains eager to see more concrete accomplishments, but he concedes that, at least for now, the prime minister is decisively winning the vibes war.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid. Aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and outdated regulations threaten our ability to expand and modernize the grid — essential components of meeting future capacity needs. Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment. To learn more, visit MakeTheSwitch.ElectroFed.com.Next, Jen asks Matt to explain the Swedish aircraft Canada is buying, giving him an opportunity to walk listeners through the logic behind the deal. Is this a new line for Canada, or just Carney buying himself the room to buy some U.S. equipment next? That conversation quickly expands into a broader rant about Canada's inability to simply get important things done. Once again, governments are creating new mechanisms, new processes, and new workarounds to accomplish tasks that functioning countries often manage through their existing institutions.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Dominion Dynamics. Canada has never had true sovereign awareness of our North. Vast parts of our country are a blind spot. And when you can't see your own territory, you can't defend it, secure it, or respond when threats emerge. Dominion Dynamics is changing that. Dominion Dynamics is building a sovereign command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain. Dominion is starting in the Arctic, where extreme conditions demand technology no one else can deliver.Defend the Dominion. Dominion Dynamics.Learn more at DefendTheDominion.com.In the final segment, the hosts return to Alberta and the ongoing federalist-versus-separatist debate. They spend considerable time discussing what role, if any, Canadians outside the province should be playing in the conversation. Can outsiders help the federalist cause, or do they risk making matters worse? Matt and Jen don't agree on every detail, but both recognize that the stakes extend well beyond Alberta itself.All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.#TheLinePodcast#MarkCarney#CanadaUSRelations#TradeNegotiations#CanadianPolitics#AlbertaPolitics#Federalism#PierrePoilievre#DefencePolicy#Geopolitics
