This special Hub Dialogues episode highlights Sean Speer moderating a panel on America First, the Indo Pacific and Canada at a conference in Ottawa hosted by the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy, Thompson Rivers University, and the New North American Initiative, at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy.

Panelists Frederick Fleitz, Matt Turpin, and Stephen Yates from the America First Policy Institute, Hoover Institution, and Heritage foundation, respectively, explored the intellectual and political origins of the America First movement, the return of great power competition with China, and the rebalancing of alliances and responsibilities in the Indo-Pacific region. They also examined how these shifts are affecting traditional allies, navigating between strategic autonomy and collective security, and what it ultimately means for Canada.
