‘An overwhelming sense of disarray’: The Hub Roundtable on crime and immigration as growing political issues. Plus, Taylor Swift to take over Toronto

This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses recent polling showing the changing attitude of Canadians on crime and how it may affect our political debates. We also talk about immigration, which has quickly gone from a taboo topic to a salient part of our elite discourse. Will that inevitably lead to a populist insurgency on the issue? And finally, we talk about the story dominating the headlines this week: Taylor Swift is finally coming to Canada (well, Toronto, anyway).
