    How Alberta's pipeline proposal could give Canada new global leverage

    Jackie Forrest says Alberta's proposed West Coast oil pipeline has gone from political long shot to credible national megaproject. The executive director of the ARC Energy Research Institute breaks down why the Roberts Bank route could transform Canada's energy exports, boost oil prices, and create a once-in-a-generation opportunity to grow the oilsands and diversify trade beyond the United States.

    Canada's new West Coast pipeline: costly error or necessary compromise?

    Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer debate the federal government's new pipeline agreement with Alberta and British Columbia. While Sean credits Prime Minister Carney's political deftness in securing the deal, Rudyard argues the project represents a costly political compromise that prioritizes politics over market efficiency. They also discuss the pipeline's southern route, public financing concerns, carbon sequestration requirements, and whether Canada is settling for suboptimal infrastructure.  In the second half, they discuss the U.S. marking its 250th anniversary on July 4th, reflecting on its exceptional strengths and weaknesses while cautioning against Canadian anti-Americanism. They also examine Pierre Poilievre's shadow cabinet reshuffle, and MP Jamil Jivani's freelancing, debating whether his off-message approach warrants removal from caucus despite his unique political voice and potential.

    B.C. developer explains why the real housing problem remains unsolved

    Beau Jarvis, CEO of Wesgroup Properties, unpacks British Columbia's plan to buy up unsold condo inventory for affordable housing. He argues the policy treats symptoms rather than root causes, and points out that developers were never consulted in shaping it. He makes the case for a different fix: lowering development charges and reforming the regulatory system. Jarvis also explains how municipal governments have become dependent on development fees to fund themselves, and proposes tax-free bonds as an alternative way to finance infrastructure.

    Trump won't renew CUSMA: What's next for Canada-U.S. trade?

    Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss President Trump's decision not to renew CUSMA and its implications. They examine the Trump administration's shift toward tariffs as a fiscal and economic strategy, driven by America's deteriorating debt situation. They also explore whether Canada should negotiate now or wait until after U.S. midterms, the likelihood of additional tariffs despite existing trade protections, and how the Carney government should respond to mounting economic uncertainty and manufacturing job losses.

    Why Canada's first Indigenous appellate court judge is building an Indigenous-Jewish alliance

    Justice Harry LaForme, Canada's first First Nations appellate court judge, explains why he sees Israel as a decolonization project rather than a colonial one, and why that perspective puts him at odds with narratives gaining traction in universities and activist circles. He discusses the striking parallels between Indigenous experiences in Canada and Jews in Israel, the moral imperative he feels to combat antisemitism, and what a stronger Indigenous-Jewish alliance could mean for both communities. 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. Click here to learn more.
