Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum discusses Prime Minister Carney's efforts to build a coalition of middle powers as Western allies reconsider their relationship with an increasingly unreliable United States. He argues that Trump's threats against allies—from Greenland to Canada—have fundamentally severed America's alliance system, creating a more transactional and unstable global order. He also examines whether Carney's "rupture thesis" represents sound policy or risks provoking American retaliation and discusses the limits of expecting a return to traditional U.S. leadership.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:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Sean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Keith McLaughlin and Amber Ruddy break down how Donald Trump's latest tariff threats could shape Canadian politics in the weeks ahead and whether Doug Ford has become a liability in trade talks. The political strategists then turn to Alberta, debating whether this summer's wildfires are likely to reshape public opinion around the province's evolving energy bargain and whether the Pathways carbon capture proposal still makes political and fiscal sense.

Joseph Steinberg, professor of economics at the University of Toronto, analyzes President Trump's threat of 50 percent tariffs on certain Canadian exports. He argues the actual economic impact may be less severe than headlines suggest, as the tariffs would affect only a small portion of Canadian exports and major sectors remain exempt. Steinberg advocates for measured responses over retaliation, questions the effectiveness of Canada's alcohol embargoes against U.S. products, and suggests some U.S. complaints merit consideration during ongoing CUSMA negotiations.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:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - Editor Rudyard Griffiths - HostChristopher Katsarov/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
