Why Canada's 'moderate middle' supports the Carney-Smith pipeline deal
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's political momentum following his pipeline agreement with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. They explore whether a "silent majority" exists beyond polarized political extremes and how Carney's centrist positioning has created some challenges for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives. In the back half of the show, they are joined by The Hub's contributor Stephen Staley, to discuss protests against this week's Munk Debate on Israel's two-state solution. They reflect how these events demonstrate a broader threat against free speech and other liberal principles in Canada.

Do Canadians support the Carney-Smith pipeline deal?
In this episode of Hub Politics, host Sean Speer is joined by Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, to discuss new polling from Abacus Data that shows the pipeline agreement between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is popular with Canadians, particularly among self-identified Conservatives. They explore the possible political risks to the memorandum of understanding, Pierre Poilievre and the federal Conservatives' challenging position, and how public opinion may shift as the project unfolds. Their conversation then turned to conservative coalition fractures in the U.K. and British Columbia and questions of how conservative priorities can balance populist energy with broader electoral appeal.  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)  Want more Hub?

Inside the complex politics of Indigenous pipeline support
The new memorandum of understanding on a potential oil pipeline to the West Coast stipulates that any such project from Alberta would require Indigenous co-ownership. In light of high-profile opposition from Coastal First Nations leaders in B.C., Indigenous Resource Network executive director John Desjarlais joins Alberta Edge to explain what meaningful consultation and relationship-building look like in 2025. He breaks down the diversity of views among First Nations across Alberta and B.C., what a future pipeline deal might entail, and why a "unanimous" resolution from the Assembly of First Nations calling for the immediate withdrawal of the energy MOU doesn't tell the whole story.  This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald. The Hub thanks him for his ongoing support.  The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.
