Barry Morishita, former mayor of Brooks and past leader of the Alberta Party, draws on his experience in one of Canada’s most economically and demographically unique rural communities to defend the controversial temporary foreign worker program. In this episode of Alberta Edge, he argues that in Brooks—a rural, southeastern Alberta city of 16,000 people that anchors a significant share of the country’s beef processing—TFWs arriving today are part of the same migration story that has shaped Canada for generations.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the 14-day Iran war ceasefire and the geopolitical implications following negotiations. They analyze reports suggesting the Trump administration will allow Iran to control and toll the Strait of Hormuz, potentially ending the longstanding guarantee of free navigation. They argue that this concession would strengthen China's influence on the region, undermine American credibility globally, and possibly mark a historic turning point signaling the end of Pax Americana and post-Second World War globalization.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsKamran Jebreili/AP Photo File - Photo Credit

Caroline Elliott explains why she should be the next leader of the BC Conservatives. She details why she believes the NDP is pushing the province "aggressively downwards," arguing schools should not be teaching children to denigrate Canadian history and that the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) must be repealed to restore certainty over land ownership. Elliott defends her BC Liberal background and positions her province as the crucial battleground for Canada's broader conservative movement and national economic success.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorHarrison Lowman - HostAdrian Wyld/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit

Evan Menzies, a former Wildrose and UCP staffer, joins Alberta Edge to make the conservative case against separation. He argues the independence movement is asking conservatives to abandon their own principles—and that Alberta’s growing economic and political weight means its future influence inside Canada may be greater than many think. And yes, he loves Canada too much to walk away.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.
