Martha Hall Findlay, director of the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy and one of the original architects of the Pathways carbon capture proposal, explains why she believes the project should have been postponed despite the recent agreement between Ottawa, Alberta, and the five oilsands companies behind it. Yet if that compromise is the political price of securing a new West Coast pipeline, she argues it may ultimately be worth it. Hall Findlay also discusses the corporate incentives that may still be needed to spur new oilsands investment, the politics of so-called corporate welfare, potential opposition within the Liberal Party, and whether Canadians can be persuaded to support the “grand bargain.”This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Richard Shimooka, The Hub's defence and security analyst and senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, discusses Canada's Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB) initiative. He explains how the institution aims to fund small and medium-sized defence enterprises facing capital access challenges, why few major allies have joined, and the growing skepticism toward the project. He also explores the tensions between Canada's diversification strategy and its deep integration with U.S. defence industries, questioning whether performative announcements address real wartime production needs.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 - HostDarren Calabrese/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Should journalism inform the public or influence it? Independent journalist and podcast host Tara Henley discusses her new book The Trust Spiral: Why the Media Needs Objectivity, examining how journalists abandoned objectivity for activism. Henley traces the emergence of journalistic objectivity in the 19th century to more recently, when younger, progressive journalists rejected it for “identitarian moralism”. She argues it is this shift that's behind falling trust in media, critiquing major Canadian media failures—from pandemic coverage to residential school graves reporting—while defending objectivity as an aspirational standard and part of journalism's public service.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

If you thought you heard some great stories in Part One of our conversation with TIM BRANDO, just wait until you listen to Part Deux. We talk more about Timmy B's dad Hub and collecting Red Chief bottle caps back in the day. Tim talks about being a boy and wearing a tux and how he'd sing and dance with his Dad. Tim finally gets around to talking about the video of he and Spencer Tillman dancing and how that video went viral (5 million + views!) Best of all, in the 6 pack, Tim puts his play-by-play hat on and calls his own (imaginary) putt on the (imaginary) 18th hole. There are a lot of laughs, some touching moments talking about his family and just an overall great time on this incredibly memorable of The Approach Shot, presented by Fan Duel, America's #1 Sportsbook, and sponsored in part by Ghost Bed.

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss whether wildfires will become a defining political issue for the Carney government, drawing parallels to how the Harper government responded to climate concerns in 2007-2008. In the second half, they explore rising support for socialism among younger Canadians, debating whether it represents a genuine ideological shift or simply a desire for systemic change. They also address generational politics, democratic representation, and why younger voters feel disconnected from current economic and political systems.If you are enjoying the free version of the Hub Politics, 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 Sean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

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.

Think you don't have the TIME to start a preschool? If so, you should watch today's Preschool All Stars story! Lisa Langston was a mom to 6 kids... homeschooling her older children and taking care of her 6-month-old. She had been a teacher for 17 years, and as much as she loved being able to stay home with them, she still wanted to teach. She was in the process of starting a daycare when she ran across my free book, Start Your Preschool... and she read it in 2 days! She jumped into Preschool All Stars, got Preschool in a Box and the HUB... and within 30 days she had started an online AND local preschool... all while still caring for her baby! Find out how she did it: - How she was able to get students from different states to sign up in her online preschool... as soon as they saw her post! - The 3 words her husband said to her when she got scared, that helped her keep going... - The exact path she took to start both preschools in just 30 days!
In this episode, I answer a question about what to do when children create artwork or craft projects during child-centered play therapy. Should they take their creations home? Should therapists keep them? And if a child spends an entire session coloring or painting, are they missing out on "more important" therapeutic work? I explain why the child's creations should never be displayed in the playroom, how to approach the child's choice to take projects home or leave them with the therapist, and why preparing parents ahead of time to respond neutrally is an important part of preserving the therapeutic process. I also address a deeper assumption hidden within the question—the idea that some ways of spending a play therapy session are better than others. Child-centered play therapy calls us to release that mindset entirely. Whether a child spends the session creating art, building, talking, sitting quietly, or doing nothing at all, I explain why every moment is therapeutically valuable when we truly trust the child, embrace expectancy rather than expectations, and remain fully committed to the CCPT model.

Graeme Harrison, CEO of Augur and Simply Silicon, believes the growing revolt against AI infrastructure is only the beginning. He argues Alberta's contrarian push to become Canada's AI powerhouse is fuelled by considerable hype and could leave many speculative projects—and their investors—empty-handed. Yet if even some of those bets pay off, they could further shift wealth and political power westward, deepen regional tensions, and force a fundamental rethink of Confederation.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

In this episode of the CCPT Mythbusters series, I tackle one of the most common labels adults place on children: "They're just manipulative." I explain why manipulation requires cognitive planning, rational thinking, and intentional strategy—abilities that children simply don't possess developmentally. Instead, I unpack the difference between manipulation and conditioning, showing how children learn through emotional experiences and repeated interactions with the adults in their lives. When we view behavior through a child-centered lens, what appears to be manipulation is actually a child trying to meet emotional needs in the only ways they know how. I also discuss how this understanding transforms our conversations with parents. Rather than accepting the label of "manipulative," we can help caregivers recognize how patterns of reinforcement shape behavior and how CCPT interrupts those cycles by preserving relationship, maintaining healthy limits, and fostering genuine emotional growth. This episode is a reminder that when we stop judging children's behavior through an adult lens, we begin to see what they truly need—and that's where healing begins.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, and I am delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this eye-opening solo episode, we are diving into one of the most important menopause and midlife health conversations every woman over 40 needs to hear: why menopause dramatically changes your heart health and brain health, and what you can do about it.Most women know about hot flashes and night sweats, but very few realize these symptoms may be your body's early warning system for much bigger changes happening beneath the surface. Today, we are unpacking the latest research on estrogen, cardiovascular disease, cognitive health, perimenopause, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), so you can make informed decisions during one of the most important health windows of your life.If you have entered perimenopause or menopause, or you are approaching it, this episode will help you understand why protecting your heart also means protecting your brain, and why timing matters more than ever.Key Highlights:➡️ Why heart disease remains the #1 killer of women, claiming more lives than all cancers combined.➡️ How your risk of cardiovascular disease increases 2 to 6 times after menopause.➡️ The critical role estrogen plays in protecting your heart, blood vessels, and brain.➡️ Why hot flashes and night sweats may be early warning signs instead of "just menopause symptoms."➡️ The surprising connection between menopause symptoms, blood pressure, cholesterol, and vascular health.➡️ The truth about the Women's Health Initiative study and why it created decades of confusion around hormone replacement therapy.➡️ Why the first 10 years after menopause may be the most important window for considering HRT.➡️ How healthy blood flow supports memory, focus, mood, and long-term brain health.➡️ The relationship between cardiovascular disease, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.➡️ Why becoming the CEO of your health starts with understanding your hormones and advocating for yourself.Key Takeaways:"Your symptoms are not the problem. They're your body's smoke alarm asking you to pay attention." - Kellie Lupsha"What's good for your heart is also good for your brain." - Kellie Lupsha"Protecting your cardiovascular health today may be one of the most important things you do to protect your future cognitive health." - Kellie Lupsha"The timing of hormone replacement therapy matters.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a new Fraser Institute report showing that high-income earners shoulder a disproportionate share of Canada's tax burden. They examine what this means for a country where public support for expanded government services is increasing. They also discuss Canada's heavy reliance on income taxes compared to the consumption-based tax models used in Scandinavian countries, and whether tax reform could help address economic stagnation and stem the loss of high earners to lower-tax jurisdictions such as the United States.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

Mark L. Berlin, professor at McGill University and former senior advisor on the Middle East to Canada's attorney general, discusses his resignation as the only Jewish trustee on the Canadian Museum for Human Rights' board. He explains his concerns about the museum's Palestinian Nakba exhibit, arguing that it presents a contested political narrative as historical fact while omitting key historical context. Berlin also examines the complexities surrounding Israel's founding and explains why he believes these historical omissions risk fueling more antisemitism in Canada, rather than fostering informed dialogue about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.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.

In this episode, I answer a question about using whispering and "I wonder" statements during role play in child-centered play therapy. One of the biggest challenges therapists face is knowing when to continue in a role the child has assigned versus when to seek additional direction. I explain why our goal is never to improvise or steer the play, but rather to follow the child's cues while remaining fully adherent to the CCPT model. Sometimes the most therapeutic response isn't another question or wonder statement—it's simply reflecting what the child has already established and patiently waiting for the next cue. I also discuss how to know when a whisper or wonder statement is appropriate, why rushing role play can unintentionally influence the child's process, and how to avoid taking the play in a direction the child never intended. This episode offers practical guidance for navigating one of the most nuanced aspects of CCPT while reinforcing a simple principle: our role is to support the child's play, not shape it.

For most of 2026, the story at the Waha hub in West Texas was a grim one of negative pricing, with Permian producers paying offtakers to clear out their natural gas. The narrative flipped in mid-June when Kinder Morgan's Gulf Coast Express Pipeline expansion came online, propelling prices back to positive territory. As the market balances the first in what is expected to be a massive wave of pipeline capacity additions against an evolving, gassier production mix, the big question remains: Has the notorious Permian boom-and-bust cycle finally met its match? In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI sits down with East Daley Analytics Senior Director Jack Weixel to unpack the structural shifts redefining West Texas energy infrastructure. The conversation covers how systems, such as the Blackcomb and Matterhorn Express pipelines, are extending Waha's fuse, why skyrocketing data center demand and LNG expansions mean producers are suddenly “playing with house money,” and how a lack of storage infrastructure could still trigger regional operational chaos during a major Gulf Coast storm.
In this episode, I answer a question from a new CCPT therapist who wonders whether a child who quietly builds with Legos session after session is really doing therapeutic work. When play seems repetitive, surface-level, or disconnected from the child's personal life, it's easy to question whether meaningful progress is being made. I explain why narration, predictable play, and even seemingly simple activities can be important parts of the therapeutic process, especially early in treatment. Rather than looking for deeper themes before the child is ready, I encourage therapists to trust that every aspect of a child's play has purpose and value. I also discuss the difference between symbolic play and thematic play, why not all play is thematic, and how our own desire to understand or "figure out" the play can interfere with true child-centered practice. This episode is a reminder that we don't have to rush children toward deeper work or ask questions to move therapy forward. Our role is to remain fully accepting, trust the process, and believe that children will naturally work on what they need in their own way and in their own time.

In this episode of the CCPT Mythbusters series, I tackle a misconception that exists even within the child-centered play therapy community: the belief that CCPT doesn't work with older children. Too many therapists assume that once children reach nine or ten years old, they have "outgrown" play therapy and need a more traditional talk therapy approach. I explain why this simply isn't true. While older children may express themselves differently and rely more on conversation and activity-based play, the foundational principles of CCPT remain exactly the same. Healing has never depended on toys—it has always depended on the therapeutic relationship. I also share practical insights from working with older children and adolescents, including why so many initially resist play but eventually embrace it as they experience genuine acceptance and emotional freedom. Whether you're working with a 4-year-old or a 14-year-old, the core conditions that Carl Rogers identified still apply. This episode is an encouragement to trust the model, challenge your own adulthood bias, and confidently offer child-centered play therapy to older children who need it just as much as their younger peers.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this heartfelt solo episode, I'm sharing the story of what was supposed to be a relaxing hiking getaway that quickly turned into a tick-filled adventure I won't soon forget. While the experience was stressful (and honestly a little traumatic!), it revealed a powerful lesson about the way so many women approach their health.Too often, we spend our time chasing symptoms instead of asking the most important question:Where is this really coming from?Whether you're struggling with fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, poor sleep, hormone changes, or simply feeling like your body isn't responding the way it used to, your symptoms aren't random. They're messages. Your body is trying to get your attention and point you toward the system that needs support.In this episode, we'll explore why lasting healing doesn't come from covering up symptoms it comes from understanding the root cause and learning to work with your body instead of against it.Key Highlights:➡️ The hilarious (and chaotic!) hiking story that inspired this powerful health lesson.➡️ Why symptoms are messages—not the problem.➡️ How chasing symptoms can keep you stuck in a cycle of frustration.➡️ Why fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and weight gain are signals that deserve your attention.➡️ The importance of uncovering the root cause instead of relying on quick fixes.➡️ How to begin becoming the CEO of your own health.➡️ Why curiosity—not criticism—is one of the most powerful tools for healing.Key Takeaways:"Your symptoms are not random.
