Over 80% of the RCMP's drones were made in China — and now they’ve been pulled from sensitive use. Former CSIS Asia-Pacific chief Michel Juneau-Katsuya joins Shane Hewitt to break down how Canada’s reliance on foreign tech has become a national security risk.

Michel argues it’s not just a tech issue — it’s a procurement and leadership failure that risks Canada’s position in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance. If cost keeps trumping common sense, what future are we building?
