This week’s Hub Dialogue Roundtable with Rudyard Griffiths, Sean Speer, and Stuart Thomson focuses on the latest developments in the Conservative leadership race, including the generational dynamics underpinning the race and a blowup over Bitcoin, as well as the potential for Jean Charest to sculpt a winning message centered on improving social mobility for Canadians who feel they are being left behind.
They also preview the upcoming federal budget and discuss how likely it is that the Liberals will boost defence spending to satisfy the NATO target of two percent of GDP.
