Why the U.S.-Iran deal changes everything for Canada and the world
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding extending their ceasefire and its geopolitical implications. They examine how reopening the Strait of Hormuz could benefit Canadian energy exports while questioning what Iran's apparent diplomatic victory signals about U.S. global leadership. They then explore whether this agreement emboldens adversaries like China and Russia, and raises concerns about President Trump potentially redirecting his focus toward North America, including renewed pressure on Canada.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:Elia Gross - ProducerAmal Attar-Guzman - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Trump says U.S. doesn't need Canada. What happens to CUSMA now?
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the turbulent state of Canada-U.S. trade relations following President Trump's assertion that the United States does not need Canada or a renewed CUSMA. They also analyze the shift from Prime Minister Carney's "sovereignty economics" toward a "Fortress North America" approach, exploring whether it signals a recognition of Canada's limited options. In the second half, they critique the Carney government's embrace of state-directed capitalism, questioning whether state-led industrial policy can deliver economic growth or if market-based solutions remain superior despite global trends toward greater government intervention.If you are enjoying the free version 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:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerElia Gross - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Canada's energy industry needs workers—not just investment
Deirdra Garyk, longtime energy policy analyst and advocate, says this year's Global Energy Show was defined by a renewed sense of optimism, driven by greater policy certainty and a shift toward building major projects. She highlighted a new labour market outlook projecting roughly 72,000 energy-sector job openings by 2035, while warning that the industry's biggest challenge is not a shortage of workers, but a shortage of skills. Garyk also argued that growing demand from AI, LNG exports, and global energy security concerns is pushing the conversation away from an "energy transition" and toward a more pragmatic approach to “energy realism.”The Hub is Canada’s fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe 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) Want more Hub?
