Foreign interference, civil unrest, state-sponsored espionage, destabilisation, and how to resist and build resilience in our communities and companies - surely topics we all care about!

We need to be clear-eyed about this challenge, its consequences, and what needs to be done to defend our interests and values. In #DoubleTrouble, a new podcast series for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute my friend and colleague Jonathan Berkshire Miller and I hope to contribute to this crucial conversation thanks to the generous support from Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Canada. Check out the first episode below (link in the comments). #geopolitics #canada #nationalsecurity #intelligence #internationalsecurity #internationalaffairs #foreignaffairs
