On Tuesday night, The Hub hosted its second pub night in its cross-country tour at the National on 17th in Calgary, AB. Co-founders Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer at a Calgary pub night event with subscribers and supporters. They discuss the early performance of the Carney government, arguing that while it has correctly diagnosed Canada's problems around housing and major projects, its instinct toward centralized technocratic solutions risks exacerbating rather than solving these issues. The conversation covers the Trump administration's tariff strategy, which they argue is primarily motivated by revenue generation rather than negotiating tactics, and the challenges this poses for Canada's trade relationship with the U.S. They then engaged in a lively Q&A with The Hub community.
The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.
