Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the escalating Canada-U.S. trade war as Canadian counter-tariffs take effect. They discuss President Trump's increasingly erratic behaviour, the risk of economic escalation beyond tariffs to include visa restrictions and business licenses, and whether Canada should deploy asymmetrical responses like restricting critical minerals and energy exports. Speer argues the Carney government's decision to reject the August deal may prove the most consequential choice defining Canada's economy for years to come.

Derrick Hynes, president and CEO of FETCO, which represents federally regulated employers in sectors including rail, ports, airlines, and telecommunications, argues that Canada needs a new way to prevent labour disputes from shutting down critical supply chains. He makes the case for earlier intervention—including special mediators with enhanced powers—before work stoppages bring key infrastructure to a halt. This Labour Day edition of Hub Hits explores when the right to strike collides with the national interest.
