The Hub: Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government’s new list of major projects and what it reveals about Ottawa’s economic strategy. They argue that projects require financing rather than regulatory acceleration, suggesting the government is overriding market signals through subsidies.
In the back half of the show, they discuss rising economic discontent among younger Canadians, the potential for a “bourgeoisie revolt,” and what it means for Canadian politics. They also explore whether Pierre Poilievre’s controversial style meets this moment of economic anxiety, and why Mark Carney’s technocratic approach could be deemed as out of touch.
