This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses extraordinary reports that the Canadian government is contingency planning for the rise of authoritarianism in the United States, including the prospects of political refugees. It also covers new national electricity regulations that could pose significant economic costs on certain provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan. The episode ends with a discussion of the cultural and political implications of the viral, new song, “Rich men North of Richmond” by previously-unknown musician Oliver Anthony.
