Is Carney Infatuation Syndrome quashing debate?

Description

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the challenges of analyzing the Carney government amid what they term "Carney Infatuation Syndrome"—a public climate that stifles criticism of the prime minister and the files he prioritizes. They explore their ideological concerns about expanding state power, crony capitalism, and technocratic governance, while examining Canada's conformist political culture and what emerges from that culture. They also address the difficulty of prosecuting substantive debates on trade, supply management, and economic policy when dissent is dismissed as disloyalty.If you are enjoying free versions of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/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)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Alisha Rao - Producer and Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.
