Cole Hogan, an Ottawa-based conservative strategist, reflects on something remarkable happening in the nation’s capital: a Liberal prime minister embracing the economic arguments Western Canadians have made for decades. But even among conservative skeptics, there are differing views on Mark Carney’s vision for Canada, particularly his claim of a fundamental rupture with the United States and the push to diversify trade. Is it a costly distraction from Canada’s most important economic relationship, or an opportunity to advance Western priorities? Hogan joins Alberta Edge to explore these competing perspectives, why Western Canadians may embrace Carney’s policies without embracing his party, and what this shifting political landscape means for the future of Canadian conservatism.

In this episode of Hub Hits, Rudyard Griffiths is invited as a guest speaker for the CAEF 2026 Advocate Award of Excellence, and delivers a powerful address on allyship and combating antisemitism in Canada. He reflects on how Toronto’s Jewish community shaped his life through institutions like Mount Sinai Hospital and the JCC, while acknowledging he took these contributions for granted before October 7th. Griffiths argues that fighting antisemitism isn’t solely the Jewish community’s burden—it’s a societal responsibility requiring allies to actively document institutional failures and celebrate those pushing back against hate.
