S1 Ep 27Episode #27: Hub Roundtable: Conservative Party Leadership and Digital Currencies

Hub Dialogues (part of The Hub, Canada's daily information source for public policy – https://www.thehub.ca) are in-depth conversations about big ideas from the worlds of business, economics, geopolitics, public policy, and technology. The Hub Dialogues feature The Hub's editor-at-large, Sean Speer, in conversation with leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, and thinkers on the issues and challenges that will shape Canada's future at home and abroad. This week's Hub Dialogue roundtable focuses on two big issues. The first is the current state of the Conservative Party of Canada's leadership. How are the different campaigns performing thus far? What should we make of early campaign attacks? Is Pierre Poilievre running a front-runner campaign? Can Patrick Brown persuade party members that he knows how to win in cities? Next, the roundtable welcomes serial entrepreneur and Hub contributor Philip Deck to discuss his recent commentary for The Hub on digital currencies. Should the Bank of Canada establish a digital currency? How would it work? What would be its benefits? And how important is trust in determining it success?

Why has the public and political response on the part of Western nations been so fast and furious with regards to both punishing the regime of Vladimir Putin economically as well as taking unprecedented steps to assist the embattled Ukraine government through arms transfers? Are we witnessing something genuinely new in terms of public perceptions of the threat of authoritarianism to liberal international order? Next, what are Canadians to make of the state of play of the nascent Conversative leadership race? Is this a party that is about to radically reposition itself on the political map? Or, are persistent challenges at the federal ballot box likely to blunt efforts to take the Conversative party in more populist direction? The roundtable digs into who the possible leadership candidates are and what do they stand for.
