Crestview Strategy partner Ginny Roth provides analysis on Parliament's return and the key political dynamics shaping Canadian politics. She examines Pierre Poilievre's strategic challenges as Conservative leader, including his efforts to moderate his tone while maintaining his authentic "fighter" persona, and his party's focus on immigration as a potential winning issue. She also discusses the pressures facing Prime Minister Mark Carney as he seeks to build his own team while managing both Conservative opposition and potential resistance from the progressive faction within the Liberal caucus.

Chris Spoke, partner at Toronto-based development company Toronto Standard, discusses Prime Minister Mark Carney's newly announced Build Canada Homes agency and its approach to addressing Canada's housing affordability crisis. He argues that while the agency aims to boost affordable housing supply, it fundamentally misdiagnoses the problem. He explores whether Build Canada Homes represents progress or a step backward from the previous consensus that market-rate housing supply increases are essential to solving Canada's housing crisis.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the return of Parliament next week, including the soon-to-be-expected federal budget, and what it means for Prime Minister Mark Carney whose policy record thus far has been less ambitious than he promised during the election campaign. In the back half of the show, they update The Hub community on the opportunities and challenges facing The Hub itself in light of ongoing news media subsidies, the threat posed by artificial intelligence, and the growing engagement with The Hub's podcast and video content.
