In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine Prime Minister Carney's controversial New York Times interview discussing Canadian military planning for potential U.S. invasion scenarios. They argue the government is cultivating alarmism around Canada-U.S. relations for political advantage, undermining productive trade negotiations. They also explore how elite rhetoric has created the "madness of crowds", the business community's growing concern over escalating trade tensions, and the risks Canada faces as Mexico nears a comprehensive trade deal with the United States.If you are enjoying free versions of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts

Noah Shack, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, discusses the Yom Kippur shooting at a Belleville synagogue that nearly became a mass-casualty event. He examines how inadequate federal security funding leaves smaller Jewish communities vulnerable, the role of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in fuelling radicalization, and Canada's double standard in foreign policy toward Israel. Shack argues that government rhetoric contributes to an environment enabling extremism, threatening not only Jewish Canadians but Canada's fundamental values and way of life.This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.
