Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Hub Politics, Sean Speer, along with Amanda Galbraith, principal at Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's performance at the UN General Assembly meeting this week and his controversial decision to recognize the state of Palestine. They then cover the delayed November budget and Carney's "invest more, spend less" messaging, with polling data revealing that Canadians understand the fiscal challenges ahead and expect both significant investments and cuts. They also address the federal government's provocative Supreme Court challenge to limit provincial use of the notwithstanding clause and Avi Lewis's left-wing NDP leadership campaign launch and its implications for Canada's political landscape.   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)  Want more Hub?
