Ron Butler, principal of Butler Mortgage and host of The Angry Mortgage Broker podcast, discusses the government's controversial decision to bail out B.C. condo developers. He argues that the decision privatizes profits while socializing losses, rescuing developers who overpriced units rather than allowing market corrections that would benefit potential homeowners. He questions why taxpayers nationwide should subsidize B.C.'s real estate industry and warns the bailout sets a dangerous precedent for the industry.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:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths - HostDarryl Dyck/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Canada's massive cost overruns for hosting the FIFA World Cup, with budgets ballooning up to 10 times the original estimates. They argue this represents the "bread and circuses" approach to politics and fiscal irresponsibility at a time when Canada runs large deficits and basic infrastructure is declining.In the second half, they discuss Prime Minister Carney's frequent international travel compared to his low parliamentary attendance. They examine how, despite ambitious rhetoric on building infrastructure and trade diversification, tangible accomplishments remain elusive. They also argue that the prime minister's preference for global summits over domestic accountability creates a widening gap between soaring promises and underwhelming delivery.If you are enjoying the free version 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:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts

Robson Fletcher, veteran journalist turned data strategist, joins Alberta Edge to make sense of the more than 16 polls conducted this year on Alberta separatism, including a recent survey he worked on with Probe Research. He explains where Albertans stand on separation, who the elusive "soft separatists" are, and why education may be one of the strongest—and least discussed—predictors of opinion. Fletcher also examines the challenges facing Premier Danielle Smith and argues that public frustration with the referendum process itself could become one of the most important stories to watch.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.
