Each Friday, you can listen to our Hub Roundtable featuring The Hub's editors analyzing the big issues of the week in Canada. Our Hub Dialogues feature The Hub's editor at large Sean Speer engaged in twice-weekly conversations with leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, and thinkers on the issues and challenges that will shape Canada's future. In Conversation with David Frum features the insight and wisdom of leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum, who weighs in every second Friday on global and Canadian news events. In Conversation with Amanda Lang features the insight of award-winning journalist and best-selling author Amanda Lang, who weighs on Canadian business and economics on a bi-weekly basis.

This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses the Liberal government's impending cabinet shuffle. Is it simply a quick refresh of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's team or is this an exercise in election readiness? We also talk about the recent trend of Big Tech companies threatening to get tough with countries that try to regulate them. Is this an ominous sign for the future?
