This is the fortieth episode of The Hub’s bi-weekly series featuring Sean Speer in conversation with leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum. The two discuss the imminent return of the Canadian Parliament and the costs and consequences of the ongoing practice of so-called “virtual Parliament”, including what it tells us about the state of Canadian politics.
