Episode #20: Hub Roundtable: Economic sanctions against Russia and Conservative leadership race

Hub Dialogues (part of The Hub, Canada’s daily information source for public policy – https://www.thehub.ca) are in-depth conversations about big ideas from the worlds of business, economics, geopolitics, public policy, and technology.The Hub Dialogues feature The Hub's editor-at-large, Sean Speer, in conversation with leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, and thinkers on the issues and challenges that will shape Canada's future at home and abroad.This week’s Hub Dialogue roundtable focuses on two issues making headlines. Why has the public and political response on the part of Western nations been so fast and furious with regards to both punishing the regime of Vladimir Putin economically as well as taking unprecedented steps to assist the embattled Ukraine government through arms transfers? Are we witnessing something genuinely new in terms of public perceptions of the threat of authoritarianism to liberal international order? Next, what are Canadians to make of the state of play of the nascent Conversative leadership race? Is this a party that is about to radically reposition itself on the political map? Or, are persistent challenges at the federal ballot box likely to blunt efforts to take the Conversative party in more populist direction? The roundtable digs into who the possible leadership candidates are and what do they stand for. If you like what you are hearing on Hub Dialogues consider subscribing to The Hub's daily email newsletter featuring our insights and analysis on public policy issues.
