    Why Ontario is in decline

    2026-08-18 | 39 mins.
    Eric Lombardi, Ontario Liberal leadership candidate and Hub contributor, discusses why he thinks Ontario is Canada’s "sick province" suffering from managed decline. He argues that large-L Liberals have abandoned small-l liberal principles like markets and merit and that his generation faces an unprecedented housing and affordability crisis. Lombardi presents his "abundance agenda"—building more housing and infrastructure, reforming health-care delivery, and reducing temporary migration—while defending against criticism that he's too conservative for the Liberal Party.

    The trade deadline approaches fast—are more Trump tariffs coming?

    2026-08-17 | 14 mins.
    Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the high-stakes negotiations Canada faces as the deadline for potential 50 percent tariffs from the U.S looms. They examine whether the sides remain far apart or if public positioning is strategic theatre, and the political calculations facing both Prime Minister Carney and President Trump. They also explore worst-case scenarios, including Canadian retaliatory tariffs and whether Canada should make major concessions or leverage Trump's political vulnerabilities heading into midterm elections amid broader geopolitical pressures.
