The news cycle never slows down and neither does Hub Hits. Each day we provide you with quick hits on topical stories, big issues and important voices appearing in The Hub, taped live. Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne reflects on George Grant's Lament for a Nation, 60 years later. He questions the value of cultural protectionism, pushes back on fears of American influence, and makes the case for a confident, civic-minded Canadian nationalism rooted in shared values—not just difference. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Canadian philosopher George Grant's Lament for a Nation: The Defeat of Canadian Nationalism, a seminal work that reshaped Canadian political discourse. Published in 1965, Grant's critique of American cultural dominance and technological modernity challenged Canadians to reconsider their national sovereignty and identity. To mark the occasion, this summer, The Hub will feature a series of essays and podcasts from big thinkers exploring the book's enduring legacy and how its insights remain vital to understanding Canada and its relationship with the United States today.
