This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses the Canadian reaction to Israel’s war against Hamas including the extent to which left-wing academic ideas have been reflected in a lot of pro-Hamas protests and rallies across the country. They also discuss the Trudeau government’s announcement this week of new exemptions from the national carbon tax for home heating, including what it means for Canadian climate policy and what it tells us about federal politics.

The Roundtable features Hub executive director Rudyard Griffiths, Hub editor-at-large, Sean Speer, and Hub editor-in-chief, Stuart Thomson. The Roundtable is produced and edited by The Hub’s content editor, Amal Attar-Guzman.
