Carney's 'nation-building projects': Cutting red tape or picking winners?
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government's new list of major projects and what it reveals about Ottawa's economic strategy. They argue that projects require financing rather than regulatory acceleration, suggesting the government is overriding market signals through subsidies. In the back half of the show, they discuss rising economic discontent among younger Canadians, the potential for a "bourgeoisie revolt," and what it means for Canadian politics. They explore whether Pierre Poilievre's controversial style might meet this moment of economic anxiety, and why Mark Carney's technocratic approach could be deemed as out of touch.

Can Conservatives ever win with Poilievre as party leader?
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 recent Abacus Data polling on Pierre Poilievre's leadership paradox whereby he has strong support among Conservative base voters but has low popularity numbers with non-Conservative voters. They explore whether the Conservative Party has reached its electoral ceiling, the trade-offs between mobilizing the base versus appealing to swing voters, and whether any alternative leader could perform better.
