On Tuesday night, The Hub hosted its second pub night in its cross-country tour at the National on 17th in Calgary, AB. Co-founders Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer at a Calgary pub night event with subscribers and supporters. They discuss the early performance of the Carney government, arguing that while it has correctly diagnosed Canada's problems around housing and major projects, its instinct toward centralized technocratic solutions risks exacerbating rather than solving these issues. The conversation covers the Trump administration's tariff strategy, which they argue is primarily motivated by revenue generation rather than negotiating tactics, and the challenges this poses for Canada's trade relationship with the U.S.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
