Will wildfires become Canada's defining political issue?

from Hub Podcasts

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss whether wildfires will become a defining political issue for the Carney government, drawing parallels to how the Harper government responded to climate concerns in 2007-2008. In the second half, they explore rising support for socialism among younger Canadians, debating whether it represents a genuine ideological shift or simply a desire for systemic change. They also address generational politics, democratic representation, and why younger voters feel disconnected from current economic and political systems.If you are enjoying the free version of the Hub Politics, 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:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Sean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.
