Don Archibald argues that one of Canada's greatest entrepreneurial success stories has been hiding in plain sight. While the country celebrates tech unicorns, Alberta's independent energy sector has quietly produced dozens of billion-dollar companies. Drawing on more than three decades in the industry—including launching Cypress Energy after taking out a $75,000 second mortgage on his home—Archibald explains how the oilpatch built an entrepreneurial ecosystem that continues to shape Alberta today.

Dr. Robert Brym and Dr. Rhonda Lenton discuss their recent Canadian-Jewish Barometer study examining societal pressures facing Canadian Jews. They explore deteriorating attitudes toward Jews and Israel among Canadians, the correlation between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, and heightened fears within Jewish communities. They also address challenges on university campuses, limitations of equity-diversity-inclusion frameworks in addressing antisemitism, and the need for dialogue between Jewish and Muslim communities to combat rising discrimination and violence.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.
