Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss the risk of Canadian policymakers underestimating the motivation behind Donald Trump's tariff threats and how we need to be prepared for a scenario where the tariffs are implemented and the USMCA is abrogated. They also cover the political fallout over the Trudeau government's GST holiday and cash rebates, rumours over a forthcoming Fall Economic Statement, and the potential fate of the Liberal Party in the coming months.

The Roundtable features The Hub's publisher, Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large, Sean Speer. The Roundtable is produced and edited by The Hub’s content editor, Amal Attar-Guzman.
