David Frum breaks down 2025's defining moments

Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum and The Hub's editor-at-large Sean Speer reflect on the most significant political developments of 2025. They discuss a number of topics including the threats to Canadian sovereignty from the Trump administration, Canada's economic reckoning after the Trudeau era, the reconciliation debate in the aftermath of major Indigenous land claim decisions, and rising global antisemitism.

In the second half of the show, they discuss what to expect in 2026, from the decline of President Trump's political power to whether Prime Carney will effectively grapple with the causes of Canadian economic underperformance over the last decade.
