*Élie Cantin-Nantel: Almost half of my generation wants Canada to join the U.S. Here’s why* “A recent Ipsos poll found that 43 percent of Canadians aged 18 to 34 would vote to become American if they were guaranteed U.S. citizenship and that their assets would be converted to USD. Just 33 percent of those aged 34 to 54 and 17 percent of those 55 and older said the same.” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/02/13/elie-cantin-nantel-almost-half-of-my-generation-wants-canada-to-join-the-u-s-heres-why/

*David Colette: Introducing Lora-Lynn, Sophie, and Tony: The typical voters of today’s Liberal Party of Canada* “Today, the person most likely to vote Liberal in Canada is a woman living in Quebec, holding at least a bachelor’s degree or higher, and working in either the public sector or in technology. She is also a member of a public sector union. She is single and never married. Building on this generic profile, I created three personas that I think best describe typical Liberal supporters in Canada today.” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/02/07/introducing-lora-lynn-sophie-and-tony-the-typical-voters-of-todays-liberal-party-of-canada/

*Anil Wasif: The real reason for Donald Trump’s tariffs* “Tariffs serve as an initial policy lever, generating revenue and boosting domestic manufacturing by making foreign imports less competitive, with Miran arguing that currency markets—if left to adjust—would mitigate inflationary risks through depreciation in tariffed economies. As trade partners respond, a broader currency realignment is set in motion, devaluing the U.S. dollar to enhance export competitiveness while discouraging excessive foreign reserves of U.S. assets.” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/02/03/anil-wasif-trumps-tariffs-are-here-now-what/

*Trump says the U.S. doesn’t need Canadian cars. Here’s what his administration’s EV rollback means for Canada* “Significant public subsidies have also been made in critical mineral extraction for EV batteries in northern Ontario, feeding a planned supply chain down to factories in the south of the province which would build batteries and cars. Different governments have also provided consumer tax breaks and other subsidies. Ottawa also put a 100-percent tariff on Chinese EV imports. What has been the effect of all this?” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/01/24/elie-cantin-nantel-trump-says-the-u-s-doesnt-need-canadian-cars-heres-what-his-administrations-ev-rollback-means-for-canada/

*‘Potentially disastrous’: The Hub’s legal experts react to the Supreme Court’s explosive decision regarding Quebec’s secularism law* “As things stand, many of the policies favoured by Poilievre will necessitate the invocation of the notwithstanding clause, so that any court-invented fetters on this override power pose a mortal danger to his governance agenda, particularly in the areas of criminal law and immigration.” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/01/27/politically-explosive-the-hubs-legal-experts-react-to-the-supreme-courts-decision-to-hear-a-legal-challenge-of-quebecs-secularism-law/

*Spencer Fernando: It’s time for Canadian conservatives to abandon Donald Trump* “He doesn’t believe in respecting allies, as evidenced by his threats to violate Canadian sovereignty, his threats to take Greenland from Denmark (a U.S. NATO ally), and his clear disdain for any country that isn’t as big and powerful as the United States. He doesn’t believe in fiscal responsibility, preferring instead to juice short-term growth by cutting taxes, ramping up spending, and running huge deficits that will be paid for by future generations.” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/01/31/spencer-fernando-its-time-for-canadian-conservatives-to-abandon-donald-trump/

*Trevor Tombe: Trump’s tariffs could cost 600,000 Canadian jobs* “While these tariffs aren’t a direct tax on Canadians, the effects will be felt through reduced demand for our goods. Although we’ll get a clearer picture in the coming days, some quick calculations reveal just how significant the economic hit could be. If U.S. demand drops in proportion to the tariff (a simple illustration), I estimate it will translate to a $160 billion blow to Canada’s economy.” Read the full article on our website: https://thehub.ca/2025/02/02/trevor-tombe-how-bad-will-trumps-tariffs-be-for-canada-here-are-the-most-important-numbers/
