Welcome to Hub Podcasts, the audio version of the big ideas and in-depth conversations found at The Hub, Canada's daily news and information source for policy and politics.

Each Friday, you can listen to our Hub Roundtable featuring The Hub's editors analyzing the big issues of the week in Canada. 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. The Frum Dialogues feature the insight and wisdom of leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum, who weighs in every second Friday on global and Canadian news events.

This week’s Hub roundtable discusses a recent poll from Abacus Data that shows the Conservatives surging into a big lead over the Liberals for federal vote intention. Are the Liberals officially on the decline? We also talk about the ongoing McKinsey controversy on Parliament Hill and how former ambassador to China Dominic Barton, who has become the face of the scandal, fared at a committee hearing this week. Finally, we take a look at Canada's big jump in immigration numbers and how it affects housing and health care in our country.
