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 announcement on bail reform and increased police funding. They examine how this policy shift represents a significant departure from the previous Liberal government's positions and mirrors Conservative policy proposals.

They also discuss the political fallout from Stellantis's decision to move Jeep production from Brampton, Ontario, to the United States, exploring how Trump's tariff threats are creating incentives for companies to relocate and the broader implications for Canada's manufacturing sector.

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney argues that both B.C. Premier David Eby and federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson appear to have forgotten which jurisdiction interprovincial pipelines fall under. He says the Constitution is clear that such projects are a matter of federal authority—a principle reaffirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. Kenney adds that Mark Carney's "build, baby, build" promise will be tested by how his government handles Alberta's latest push to get a new pipeline built.

Toronto is a "world class city" says its mayor Olivia Chow. But for a growing number of its residents, the city is unrecognizable from decades ago; whether it's the homelessness, open drug use, empty storefronts, or crumbling infrastructure.

One year from a pivotal municipal election, Harrison Lowman speaks to Daniel Tate, executive director of IntegrityTO, a civic advocacy group bent on promoting transparent and responsible municipal governance in Canada's largest city.
