  • Meh

    Disappointingly biased, which I was kind of expecting, but still disappointing. I’ve been looking for a proper multi-sided discourse, and this is not that.

    In my opinion the AI read stuff needs to go. The quality is lacking, and it’s really not that hard to have some engaging staff members who can read articles. There are probably interns and summer students who would do a much better job than the boys.

    The discussions and debates can be solid and while biased, the info isn’t inaccurate, but... more

  • Smart and thoughtful

    I’m so grateful to the Hub for providing smart and thoughtful analysis of current events, especially since they bring a measured Canadian perspective. Never hysterical or click-baity, these journalists always bring deeper reflections that I find incredibly helpful in sorting through all the “noise”.
