This is the fourth episode of The Hub’s bi-weekly series featuring host Sean Speer in conversation with award-winning journalist and best-selling author Amanda Lang. The two cover this week’s Q1 GDP numbers and the Alberta election results and their implications for Canadian public policy. They also discuss State Farm Insurance’s withdrawal from home insurance in California and how it may foretell a growing policy issue in Canada.
