Jennifer Keesmaat on the case for going all in on modern methods of construction
Jennifer Keesmaat, former chief city planner of Toronto and president and CEO of Collecdev Markee, argues that Canada’s housing crisis is a systemic failure requiring structural transformation—not incremental reform. She highlights modern construction methods, including modular housing, cross-laminated timber, and AI-integrated design, as key to building at the speed and scale needed. Keesmaat also explains why coordinated reform across governments, capital markets, and supply chains is essential to making factory-built housing a core part of Canada’s housing system.This episode is presented in partnership with ATCO Structures.The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub’s podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Elia Gross - Producer and EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Should Canada risk lives clearing the Strait of Hormuz?
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer debate Canada's potential involvement in reopening the Strait of Hormuz following Foreign Minister Anita Anand's visit to Saudi Arabia. They examine whether Canadian participation would serve national interests or merely act as clean up after Trump's actions in the Middle East. They challenge the Carney government's approach to foreign policy, questioning Canada's willingness to support authoritarian Gulf states with troubling human rights records, while seemingly abandoning traditional Canadian values in international relations.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsRafiq Maqbool/AP Photo - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
