Full Press asks why the CBC told its journalists in a leaked memo to not call 9/11 a terrorist attack (before retracting it), parses whether the media took the politician bait with their wall-to-wall coverage of “Lake America”, and wonders who we should really believe about trade talks breaking down. The panel also discusses NDP leader Avi Lewis’ appearance on The Hub and why politicians should appear on media they disagree with.The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub’s podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorHarrison Lowman - Host Hosted on Acast.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the breakdown of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, questioning whether the deal's collapse was as inevitable as portrayed. They analyze comments from chief negotiator Janice Charette suggesting American demands on sovereignty and French language protections were less extreme than initially claimed by anonymous government sources. They explore whether political calculations influenced Canada's decision to walk away, and challenges those opposing negotiations to explain how rejecting a deal ultimately serves Canadian interests.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)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsDarryl Dyck/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the consequences from collapsed Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. They examine Prime Minister Carney's commanding performance following the breakdown, the rally-around-the-flag effect benefiting the Liberals, and the challenges facing the Conservatives. They also explore whether Canadian politicians face perverse incentives to prolong the crisis given its political benefits, regional tensions over retaliatory measures, and the difficulty of reaching any deal amid heightened public emotions on both sides of the border.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)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and Editor Sean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the breakdown of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, arguing that the mid-week deal—allegedly protecting roughly 85-90 percent of Canadian exports—was reasonable despite imperfections. They challenge the prevailing view that any compromise represents disloyalty, suggesting political incentives and nationalist sentiment may be preventing rational cost-benefit analysis. The discussion examines how the trade war could enable expanded state intervention in the economy and questions whether Canada's retaliatory approach serves its long-term interests.If you are enjoying free versions of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/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)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and Video Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Christopher Sands, director of the Center for U.S.-Canada Studies at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, discusses the breakdown of recent trade negotiations between the two countries. He analyzes the escalating tensions under the Trump administration, explores whether the hostility toward Canada is strategic or ideological, and discusses the deterioration of institutional mechanisms for bilateral dialogue. He argues both nations must separate rhetoric from reality and rebuild their relationship through renewed public engagement and strengthened institutional frameworks.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)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - ProducerAlisha Rao - Video EditorSean Speer - HostAdrian Wyld/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
