| 6/23/26 |  Why Canadians shouldn't bail out B.C. condo developers who made risky bets | Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the federal and B.C. provincial governments' plan to purchase thousands of unsold condos in Vancouver. They question whether taxpayers could end up overpaying to support developers who made risky investments and argue that the policy may prevent market corrections that could improve housing affordability. They also contend that the bailout could reduce opportunities for prospective buyers and explore whether politicians are willing to allow housing prices to fall naturally.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 EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer- HostsDarryl Dyck/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

| 6/23/26 |  The case for why Alberta separation is inevitable | Barry Cooper, influential political scientist and one of the intellectual architects of Alberta's sovereignty movement, says Alberta independence is no longer a question of if, but when. In this episode of Alberta Edge, Cooper explains why he believes repeated attempts to reform Confederation have failed, why Alberta's grievances remain unresolved, and why the most consequential question on the October referendum ballot may not be the one on separation at all, but the proposal to fundamentally rebalance the constitutional relationship between Ottawa and the provinces.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

| 6/22/26 |  Why B.C.'s condo bailout could make homeownership even more unattainable | Ron Butler, principal of Butler Mortgage and host of The Angry Mortgage Broker podcast, discusses the government's controversial decision to bail out B.C. condo developers. He argues that the decision privatizes profits while socializing losses, rescuing developers who overpriced units rather than allowing market corrections that would benefit potential homeowners. He questions why taxpayers nationwide should subsidize B.C.'s real estate industry and warns the bailout sets a dangerous precedent for the industry.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 Rudyard Griffiths - HostDarryl Dyck/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

| 6/19/26 |  Why Canada's FIFA World Cup spending should alarm Canadians | Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Canada's massive cost overruns for hosting the FIFA World Cup, with budgets ballooning up to 10 times the original estimates. They argue this represents the "bread and circuses" approach to politics and fiscal irresponsibility at a time when Canada runs large deficits and basic infrastructure is declining.In the second half, they discuss Prime Minister Carney's frequent international travel compared to his low parliamentary attendance. They examine how, despite ambitious rhetoric on building infrastructure and trade diversification, tangible accomplishments remain elusive. They also argue that the prime minister's preference for global summits over domestic accountability creates a widening gap between soaring promises and underwhelming delivery.If you are enjoying the free version 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:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

| 6/18/26 |  Making sense of the 16+ polls on Alberta separation | Robson Fletcher, veteran journalist turned data strategist, joins Alberta Edge to make sense of the more than 16 polls conducted this year on Alberta separatism, including a recent survey he worked on with Probe Research. He explains where Albertans stand on separation, who the elusive "soft separatists" are, and why education may be one of the strongest—and least discussed—predictors of opinion. Fletcher also examines the challenges facing Premier Danielle Smith and argues that public frustration with the referendum process itself could become one of the most important stories to watch.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

| 6/17/26 | How Gulf states are rebuilding trade routes around the Strait of Hormuz | Dean Mikkelsen, a Canadian living abroad and founder of the website Power & Corridors, joins The Hub from Abu Dhabi to unpack the tentative U.S.-Iran agreement and what it could mean for the future of the Strait of Hormuz. While markets have welcomed signs of de-escalation, he argues the real story is how Arabian Gulf countries are rapidly building alternative pipelines, rail networks, ports, and trade corridors to reduce their dependence on a single energy chokepoint. Mikkelsen also explains why disruptions to LNG, fertilizer, and shipping insurance markets could have longer-lasting impacts on global trade and food prices than on oil itself.

| 6/17/26 |  Why is Trump blocking the Gordie Howe International Bridge? | Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the delayed opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a Canadian-financed infrastructure project connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. Although the bridge is ready to open, the Trump administration has blocked its launch, allegedly due to lobbying by the owner of the competing Ambassador Bridge. They explore whether this represents pay-to-play corruption in the Trump White House and debate whether Canada should adopt more transactional tactics to advance its interests in the bilateral relationship.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 Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsDave Chidley/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
