Episode 2: Phil Gurski
Episode 2 features a discussion with Phil Gurski. Phil has an immense depth of experience in the world of intelligence, specializing in issues on national security and terrorism with a particular focus on the Middle East and violent Islamist-inspired terrorism gained through his first-hand experience at organizations including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and Communications Security Establishment (CSE - Canada's Signal Intelligence Agency). He is the President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting Ltd. and Programme Director for the Security, Economics and Technology (SET) hub at the University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute.
We have a fascinating discussion about his career in the security services, how the face of terrorism has changed over time, his views on what we should be focusing on now, what the public should be aware of, what we should do with foreign fighters who want to return home, and more.
Phil is the author of six books, with his latest being the Peaceable Kingdom - A History of Terrorism in Canada from Confederation to the Present. His other titles include: The Threat from Within: Recognizing Al Qaeda-inspired Radicalization and Terrorism in the West (Rowman and Littlefield 2015) Western Foreign Fighters: The Threat to Homeland and International Security (Rowman and Littlefield 2017), The Lesser Jihads: Taking the Islamist fight to the world (Rowman and Littlefield 2017), An end to the ‘War on Terrorism and When Religion Kills: How Extremist Justify Violence Through Faith (Lynne Rienner 2019).
