Poilievre's leadership win and the politics of artificial intelligence

from Hub Podcasts

In this episode of Hub Politics, Sean Speer is joined by Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, to discuss Pierre Poilievre's resounding leadership review victory and the Conservative convention's strategic messaging. They analyze Poilievre's focus on affordability over Trump, the significance of the 20th anniversary of Stephen Harper's first election win, and new Abacus Data polling revealing widespread Canadian nostalgia for the 1950s. They then explore emerging political risks around artificial intelligence and job displacement, questioning whether the Carney government's embrace of AI is a vulnerability.
