S1 Ep 37Episode #37: Hub Roundtable: The federal budget shows some restraint. Or does it?

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 the government's baby steps on economic growth in the federal budget and why we should be skeptical about the claim that this is a budget of "restraint." We also dive into the Conservative leadership race to discuss Jean Charest's new policy on protecting critical infrastructure and whether Pierre Poilievre's massive crowds will translate into votes at the ballot box.
