Our Hub Dialogues feature The Hub's editor at large Sean Speer engaged in twice-weekly conversations with leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, and thinkers on the issues and challenges that will shape Canada's future. In Conversation with David Frum features the insight and wisdom of leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum, who weighs in every second Friday on global and Canadian news events. In Conversation with Amanda Lang features the insight of award-winning journalist and best-selling author Amanda Lang, who weighs on Canadian business and economics on a bi-weekly basis.

This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses the government's continuing battle with Meta and its decision to remove all government advertising from the company's platforms, including Facebook (although the Liberal Party will continue to advertise there). We also talk about Threads, the new Twitter competitor that is fueled by the Instagram user base, and wonder if this is the beginning of the end for Twitter.
