Shannon Joseph, chair of Energy for a Secure Future, analyzes the key provisions in the landmark MOU between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, including the lifting of the tanker ban, forthcoming changes to the industrial carbon price, and Indigenous ownership requirements. Joseph also discusses Canada's comparative advantage in its energy self-sufficiency, the shift toward federal-provincial cooperation, and the investment conditions needed to move from political agreements to market-driven infrastructure projects.

Energy for a Secure Future is a member of The Hub's corporate council.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Turning Point USA's major America Fest 2025 conference held over the coming days. They explore how the MAGA movement is evolving beyond traditional conservatism toward populist nationalism and more heterodox and fringe positions on immigration, Israel, and culture. They address the competition to succeed Trump's legacy, featuring figures like JD Vance and Tucker Carlson, while questioning whether these political currents still represent conservatism or something darker and different.

Toronto lawyer and Substack author, Adam Hummel, discusses the recent Munk Debate about the two-state solution and the challenges facing diaspora Jewish communities in debating contentious issues around Israel. He argues that avoiding difficult conversations makes communities brittle rather than strong, and that diverse viewpoints must be openly discussed despite fears of appearing disloyal. He also explores how Jewish communities can embrace internal debate while maintaining solidarity.

Kevin Krausert, CEO and co-founder of Avatar Innovations, discusses his venture platform's unique approach to energy innovation by partnering major energy companies with entrepreneurs to solve real-world problems. He argues the energy transition is fundamentally an innovation challenge requiring industry collaboration rather than disruption, challenges the Silicon Valley investment model for hard technology, and makes the case that Canada's resource sector can drive both economic prosperity and emissions reduction technologies the world can afford.

This episode is presented in partnership with Pathways Alliance.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the deadly terrorist attack against the Jewish community at a Hanukkah event in Sydney, Australia. They talk about the parallels of this attack to October 7th in Israel and how this further demonstrates the rise of antisemitic violence in the West. They also argue that this moment is a wake-up call for law enforcement, politicians, and every member of society, and that if those in power do not address these issues directly and unequivocally, this violence will only continue to spread unchecked.
