Episode #294: Hub Roundtable: Should we be worried about our young men?
Welcome to Hub Podcasts, the audio version of the big ideas and in-depth conversations found at The Hub, Canada's daily news and information source for policy and politics.
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. The episodes are generously supported by The Ira Gluskin And Maxine Granovsky Gluskin Charitable Foundation and the Linda Frum and Howard Sokolowski Charitable Foundation.
This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses the increased prominence of "existential politics" online, which can sometimes take young activists into worlds of misogyny and racism. We also discuss the increasing maleness of the conservative movement. We finish the podcast with a conversation about the ongoing controversy around Doug Ford's government and Greenbelt development. What does this saga tell us about our state capacity?
