In Conversation with David Frum features the insight and wisdom of leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum, who weighs in every second Friday on global and Canadian news events.

We also talk about immigration, which has quickly gone from a taboo topic to a salient part of our elite discourse. Will that inevitably lead to a populist insurgency on the issue? And finally, we talk about the story dominating the headlines this week: Taylor Swift is finally coming to Canada (well, Toronto, anyway).If you like what you are hearing on Hub Dialogues consider subscribing to The Hub's free weekly email newsletter featuring our insights and analysis on public policy issues.
