Will a generational divide decide the CPC leadership race? The Hub Roundtable on Bitcoin, social mobility, and the upcoming budget

Pierre Poilievre greets a resident while campaigning door to door ahead of the 2019 federal election, in the Ottawa community of Greely, on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019. Justin Tang/The Canadian Press.

This week’s Hub Dialogue Roundtable with Rudyard Griffiths, Sean Speer, and Stuart Thomson focuses on the latest developments in the Conservative leadership race, including the generational dynamics underpinning the race and a blowup over Bitcoin, as well as the potential for Jean Charest to sculpt a winning message centered on improving social mobility for Canadians who feel they are being left behind.

They also preview the upcoming federal budget and discuss how likely it is that the Liberals will boost defence spending to satisfy the NATO target of two percent of GDP.
