How optimistic should we be about Canada’s future?

from Hub Podcasts

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss opposing outlooks on Canada's political and economic trajectory, including the declining GDP growth, the lack of housing affordability, and Mark Carney's statist approach. They also discuss how a Reaganite optimism is a relevant perspective during a time The Hub has termed a "lost decade," and explore whether entrenched elites and demographic shifts will prevent the kind of market-oriented reforms that transformed the 1980s.If you are enjoying free versions of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Alisha Rao - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.
