They also cover a new federal report on Canada's progress on meeting its greenhouse gas emission targets and whether it is time for an "adult conversation" about more realistic targets. Finally, they discuss a recent event on the future of journalism hosted by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in partnership with The Hub. The Roundtable features The Hub's publisher Rudyard Griffiths and Hub editor-at-large, Sean Speer.
