LIVE with David Frum: Trump, Iran, and a Canada that can no longer count on Washington

This week, The Hub gathered readers and listeners in Ottawa's National Arts Centre for a live conversation between Sean Speer, The Hub's co-founder and editor-at-large, and David Frum, leading author, thinker, and journalist. The two discussed the escalating U.S.–Iran conflict, the erosion of institutional guardrails in Donald Trump's second term, and the implications for Canada. Frum argued that we're witnessing a fundamental rupture in the international order that requires Canada to think and act like a middle power navigating between three potentially hostile giants.
