Executive Director Rudyard Griffiths and Editor-at-Large Sean Speer discuss a recent Hub essay on Canada’s “lost economic decade” and the cultural, economic, and political risks of experiencing a second lost decade. They also cover Pierre Poilievre’s speech to the business community in Vancouver last week, including the policy and political implications of a working-class conservatism.
