‘History has come roaring back’—Russia invades Ukraine, and the federal government invokes the Emergencies Act

This first instalment of The Hub’s weekly, subscriber-only episode of Hub Dialogues features executive director Rudyard Griffiths, editor-in-chief Stuart Thomson, and editor-at-large Sean Speer on the week’s big policy and political issues. This week, they discuss Russia’s dramatic and unsettling invasion of Ukraine. Will this finally shake the West from the trajectory of its decline? Or will this challenge hasten the fracturing of its global leadership? They also tackle the federal government of Canada’s unprecedented invocation of the Emergencies Act and outline some troubling consequences that may follow.
