Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu's crossing over to Carney's Liberal party, marking the fifth floor-crossing this parliamentary session. They examine what this new development reveals about the prime minister's ruthless pragmatism in building a broad coalition, despite ideological differences, Pierre Poilievre's mounting leadership challenges, and how Trump's presidency may be reshaping Canadian voter preferences.

In the second half, they reflect on The Hub's five-year journey as an independent media outlet navigating Canada's subsidy-dominated news landscape.
