In this episode of Hub Politics, host Sean Speer is joined by Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, to discuss Prime Minister Carney's recent major speech at the University of Ottawa. Their general reaction is that his "rambly technocratic" presentation missed the mark: it failed to provide concrete plans to improve the lives of young Canadians in attendance. They also discuss Premier Ford's remarkable political staying power and polling numbers. They explore Ford's populist retail politics and whether his political brand could translate nationally, as well as the overlap between Ford supporters and federal Liberal voters who voted for Prime Minister Carney.
