The first is the current state of the Conservative Party of Canada’s leadership. How are the different campaigns performing thus far? What should we make of early campaign attacks? Is Pierre Poilievre running a front-runner campaign? Can Patrick Brown persuade party members that he knows how to win in cities? Next, the roundtable welcomes serial entrepreneur and Hub contributor Philip Deck to discuss his recent commentary for The Hub on digital currencies. Should the Bank of Canada establish a digital currency? How would it work? What would be its benefits? And how important is trust in determining it success? If you like what you are hearing on Hub Dialogues consider subscribing to The Hub's daily email newsletter featuring our insights and analysis on public policy issues.
