• The 'Canadianization' of the oilsands: A story of ownership, identity, and power

  Alberta’s oilsands have come a long way from the early days of resource-heavy open-pit mines, when they became the poster child for environmentalist opposition. Today, new technologies, lower costs, and shifting ownership have reshaped both the industry’s footprint and its role in Canada’s economy. Alberta Edge host Ryan Hastman sits down with former energy executive Will Lacey to trace that transformation—from the viral moment he was told to remove his “I ♥ Canadian Oil & Gas” shirt on Parliament Hill, to the growing Canadianization of the sector, and the political forces that continue to shape its future.   This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

• Sharren Haskel on how Canada recognizing Palestine only emboldens Hamas

  Sharren Haskel, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Israel, discusses her unique political journey from Toronto-born veterinarian to Israeli politician and her role in Israel's wartime diplomacy. She also discusses the current state of the Israel-Hamas war, where she argued that international pressure on Israel—including Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood—has undermined ceasefire negotiations and emboldened Hamas to reject peace deals. She ends the conversation discussing her efforts to build coalitions worldwide and her vision for defeating radical jihadist forces across the Middle East.

• Dictator unity: What Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un's parade means for Canada

  Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the striking images from China's military parade featuring Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un marching alongside leaders from the Global South. They examine what this display of authoritarian unity means for the end of unipolarity and the growing bifurcation of the world into competing spheres of influence, with China building an alternative network to challenge Western liberal democratic capitalism.   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?
