Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Carney's consequential week, particularly his Davos speech arguing the post-war international order has "ruptured." They debate whether this represents a fundamental global transformation or an episodic response to Trump's presidency.

In the second half, they explore challenges the Conservative Party is facing, the gap between Carney's rhetoric and policy execution, and whether his diagnosis justifies major economic restructuring. The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

Gary Mar, President and CEO of the Canada West Foundation, discusses Canada's new trade deal with China. He examines whether the agreement balances economic opportunity with national security concerns, and its significance for Western Canada's agriculture and energy sectors. He addresses criticisms of the trade deal in light of Taiwan and potential U.S. retaliation, and argues the deal represents progress while cautioning against over-reliance on any single marketplace.

Derrick Hunter argues that entrepreneurship isn't limited to startups or Silicon Valley—it is the foundation of economic opportunity. In this episode of Alberta Edge, the CEO of Bluesky Equities and namesake of the Hunter Prize says every private-sector job begins with entrepreneurial risk.

Hunter discusses Calgary's growing tech sector, how the 2014 oil downturn accelerated diversification, and why Alberta's risk-taking culture stands out nationally. He also examines broader challenges facing Canada, including weak productivity growth, uncompetitive tax policy, regulatory barriers, and a national reluctance to celebrate business success.
