  • The Year Ahead 2018 Panel Discussion: Managing the Canada-U.S. relationship

    Panelists: Jim Fergusson (University of Manitoba), and Christopher Sands (Johns Hopkins University)

    About:  A year after the election of President Trump, it is now time to take stock of the Canada-US relationship. May 2018 marks 60 years of NORAD and potentially big changes to NORAD’s command and control framework not to mention the negotiations to finance an upgrade of the North Warning System (NWS). As well, the borders are beginning to harden – joint border projects are stagnating and neither state is equipped to deal with the (re)emerging threat of cruise missiles.

    This panel was recorded at the Year Ahead: An International Security, Intelligence, and Defence Outlook for 2018. This is the annual flagship conference organized by the Centre for Security, Intelligence and Defence Studies at Carleton University.

  • The Year Ahead 2018 Panel Discussion: Hot Spots of the World and the Impact on Canada

    Panelists: Ankit Panda (The Diplomat), Barak Barfi (The Washington Institute) and Milana Nikolko (Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, Carleton University)

    About: This panel examines the immediate threats for Canada and its allies in 2018. All of these issues have a concomitant defence role whether it is the coalition efforts in the Middle East or Canada’s support to the US pivot to Asia or NATO operations in the Eastern Europe to demonstrate support for Western allies.

  • The Year Ahead 2018 Panel Discussion: New Horizons - Cyberattacks and Missile Defence

    Panelists: Stephanie MacLellan (CIGI), Torey McMurdo (DOD/Yale University) and Scott Jones (Community Security Establishment)
    About:  This panel examines new horizons including the growing scope and damage done through cyber-attacks and the need for more “defence” (whether passively or offensively employed). Issues explored include cyber vulnerabilities to Canada’s infrastructure, and new missile defence options (both ballistic and cruise). Each of these issues is expected to be solved in part by technology. Whether it is a replacement for the North Warning system, protection of private packets of information on the internet or new satellite configurations, all involve new technologies that can be exploited leading to increased political tensions.
