This week’s episode takes a deep dive into U.S. covert foreign influence operations in Greenland — a shocking development that could serve as a warning call for Canada, NATO, and other Western allies.

👉 How is “national security” being used as a shield for economic coercion — and what impact could this have on Canada’s economy?

✔️ Espionage case in Germany involving China
👉 What does this case reveal about insider threats, and how exposed are Canada’s own military contractors and allies?

✔️ CSIS poll: Canadians feel less safe than 5 years ago
👉 Why does public perception of insecurity matter just as much as real-world crime statistics for national security planning?

✔️ CSIS & CBSA morale crisis
👉 How do low morale and lack of trust inside Canada’s intelligence and border agencies weaken our national security?
