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.

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss Canada's escalating trade war with the U.S. and this week’s federal by-election results. They examine how (trade) “wartime footing" benefits incumbent governments politically while constraining democratic accountability, and whether the spat enables or hinders Prime Minister Carney's broader policy agenda.

In the second half of the show, the panel discusses the major Tory by-election defeats, where Coletto presents analysis challenging the conventional wisdom that replacing Pierre Poilievre would improve Conservative fortunes, arguing Carney's exceptional popularity, not Poilievre's negatives, is the primary factor limiting Conservative support among accessible voters.

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the breakdown of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, questioning the Canadian government's account of events and arguing the proposed deal may have been better than portrayed. They critique the lack of media scrutiny, why Via Rail's $5 billion expansion is misguided economic policy, and warn that crisis rhetoric enables fiscal indiscipline. They also explore how public consensus around trade issues has constrained critical debate about Canada's actual interests.
