🔍🇨🇦 Is Canada Safe? Inside CSIS Director’s Speech | Global Intelligence Weekly Wrap-UpThis week on Global Intelligence Weekly Wrap-Up, Neil Bisson — retired CSIS intelligence officer and Director of the Global Intelligence Knowledge Network — breaks down one of the most significant national-security weeks in recent memory.
From a BBC journalist under secret-service investigation 🇬🇧… to Iranian-directed threats inside Canada 🇨🇦… to a major act of sabotage on NATO-linked infrastructure 🇵🇱 — this episode shows how fast the threat environment is intensifying across Canada and its allies.
🎧 Before you hit play, consider these questions:
❓ How did a BBC reporter become entangled in a probe tied to Chinese intelligence — and what does it say about press freedom in democracies?
❓ Why are Russia and China ramping up their espionage in Canada’s Arctic, and what vulnerabilities are they exploiting?
❓ What does it mean when 1 in 10 CSIS terrorism investigations now involves a minor?
❓ How close did Iranian intelligence come to carrying out potentially lethal plots on Canadian soil — and how did CSIS disrupt them?
❓ Why are provincial referendums the new battleground for foreign interference?
❓ What does the Polish railway sabotage reveal about the expanding hybrid war against NATO countries?
All of these questions — and many more — are answered with analysis, context, and intelligence-driven insight throughout the episode.
