Will Carney stay silent about China violating press freedom and human rights?
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Hong Kong media publisher Jimmy Lai being sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Chinese government-controlled court. They examine what this means for press freedom and human rights in Hong Kong, criticize the Carney government's muted response, and argue that Lai's imprisonment violates the 1997 Sino-British treaty guaranteeing democratic freedoms. They then explore Canada's reluctance to confront China's authoritarian actions and the costs of prioritizing trade relations over democratic principles.

Why Trudeau's WE scandal is heading to the Supreme Court
Duff Conacher, co-founder of the Canadian political accountability group Democracy Watch, discusses his organization's Supreme Court case challenging a decision by the federal ethics commissioner that cleared then-prime minister Justin Trudeau of violating ethics laws during the WE Charity scandal. He argues that allowing politicians to write their own rules and appoint their own watchdogs creates a closed accountability loop that undermines the rule of law and erodes democratic integrity. He explains how much corruption he's witnessed in Canada after nearly 33 years of keeping a close eye on Canadian politicians. The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

How government can work again, starting at city hall
Jeromy Farkas, Calgary's recently elected mayor, reflects on his first 100 days in office and makes the case for a post-partisan style of politics—one focused on execution and governing within clear jurisdictional limits, rather than culture wars or ideological signaling. From confronting a looming water infrastructure crisis, to cutting a proposed tax increase, and reversing Calgary's blanket housing rezoning policy; Farkas explains why textbook solutions sometimes fail in practice, and why municipal governments can still deliver results even as higher levels of government stall.

Why Canada needs a radical rethink of North American relations
Martha Hall Findlay, director of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, and Carlo Dade, director of the New North America Initiative, unpack how Canada has repeatedly misread the signals coming out of Washington — mistaking deep, structural shifts in U.S. politics for temporary disruptions. They argue that Canada has been managing its most important relationship while looking in the rearview mirror, and that the costs of that complacency are now impossible to ignore. Moving beyond election-cycle drama and the latest tariff threats, this conversation examines the forces reshaping North America, why old political labels no longer apply, and what Canada must do to adapt to a fundamentally changed relationship with its closest ally. This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. From the shifting ideologies of the new Right and the new Left in the U.S., this multi-month series will bring Canadians inside debates on trade, globalization, and power that are likely to shape America's policy direction — and Canada's interests — for the years and decades to come.
