Christine Van Geyn, litigation director for the Canadian Constitution Foundation, discusses the major controversy surrounding American Christian worship leader Sean Feucht's Revive 25 tour in Canada. Many of Feucht's concerts have been canceled due to what have been called safety concerns and allegations of hate speech. She argues that the revocation of permits and fines issued to Feucht are unjustified and infringe on his Charter rights to freedom of expression, religion, and assembly. She also spells out what hate speech looks like in Canada.

Bill Hawkins, head of Trade and Investment at Sussex Strategy Group and Managing Principal of GrowthBridge, examines whether the Trump administration is precipitating an end to globalization as we've known it since the Cold War. Drawing on recent research papers in VoxEU and Foreign Affairs, he argues in favour of the thesis globalization has historically thrived under a single hegemon willing to create "public goods" like stable trade rules and security guarantees, but that America is now abandoning this role based on a bipartisan consensus that past trade agreements haven't benefited ordinary Americans. The Hub's editor-at-large discusses with Hawkins how America could actually be helping China's rise in global dominance through trade wars

The fact that the man protecting his property could face jail time has sparked a heated conversation across the country, and was even raised by Premier Doug Ford, who said our justice system is "broken."
