S1 Ep 106Episode #106: Hub Roundtable: But who will police the anti-racism consultants?

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 discusses extremist behaviour hitting the headlines this week. First, an anti-racism consultant's racist tweets were enough to get a government anti-racism project axed and, then, we talk about Pierre Poilievre's handshake at a meet-and-greet with a white supremacist. Then, we talk about Canada's strategy for China and the strange delay in appointing an ambassador to the country. Stick around for a bonus interview conducted by Hub reporter Geoff Russ, who talks to National Post columnist Sabrina Maddeaux about our widening gender divide.
