  1. Oren Cass on Trump and the ideological realignment reshaping America

    Oren Cass on Trump and the ideological realignment reshaping America

    Oren Cass, founder and chief economist at American Compass, discusses what's driving the Trump administration's aggressive new approach to trade in North America and around the world. Cass explains why the New Right rejects the old "America as benevolent hegemon" model, how tariffs fit into its broader vision of balanced trade relationships, and where its thinking diverges from both traditional conservatism and the New Left. He also explores what this realignment means for labour policy, industrial strategy, the future of the Republican coalition, and ultimately Canada.  This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. From the shifting ideologies of the New Right and the New Left in the U.S., this multi-month series will bring Canadians inside debates on trade, globalization, and power that are likely to shape America's policy direction — and Canada's interests — for the years and decades to come. The New North America Initiative is generously funded in part by the Government of Alberta. Learn more about the initiative: https://newnorthamerica.org.

    How Jew hatred became normalized in Canada

    Jesse Brown, editor and publisher of Canadaland, discusses his six-part investigative podcast series, "What Is Happening Here," on antisemitism in Canada. He examines the surge in antisemitism since October 7th, from prevented mass murder plots to the systematic exclusion of Jews from Canadian institutions. He explores how anti-Zionist movements have mainstreamed hateful rhetoric, why progressive activists often dismiss Jewish concerns, and how media have failed to adequately cover this crisis.  This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.

  5. Why AI could trigger the mother of all recessions

    Why AI could trigger the mother of all recessions

    Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a new Citrini Research report about how AI could trigger an unprecedented economic recession within the next two years. They argue that rapid AI adoption—particularly tools enabling non-technical users to replicate expert work—threatens knowledge workers who have sustained the modern economy, and that, unlike previous technological disruptions, this transition may happen at a faster rate. They explore how this disruption challenges existing policy frameworks and requires urgent political attention before widespread labour market dislocation occurs.   Read the Citrini Research paper here: https://www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic.   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=en   CREDITS: Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer Elia Gross - Editor Sean Speer and Rudyard Griffiths - Host Andy Wong/AP Photo - Photo Credit   To contact us, sign up for updates, and access transcripts email support@thehub.ca
