Spies Like Us

In the first episode of 2025 the guys talk about the New Orleans terrorist attack and weigh in on their own concerns for national security and public safety in the coming year.

When you don't know nuthin' it is best to ask someone who does know sumpin'. The guys are happy to welcome AI guru Ryan Zorn, an ex-CSIS dude, to demonstrate the challenges of AI and the threats to national security. Oh, and hope springs eternal that AI will create an avatar to make Neil look good....

The guys weigh in on partisan politics when it comes to national security, why it is important to vet contacts and why Xi Jinping uses honeypots (aside from the fact that he does look like Winnie the Pooh with a jar on his head).

The guys are back as a trio once again to talk all things Canada-US border: terrorist threats, drugs and whether the US has to call 9-1-1 on us.

Neil-less Al and Phil weigh in on what makes a good national security advisor, what are the disadvantages of information blackouts when it comes to public safety, and are screen doors a good idea on a submarine?

Neil and Phil - yes again without Al - talk about ISIS teeny-boppers, why a mayor thinks honouring the dead Hamas leader is a good idea, and why Canada needs to step up on national security.

In this week's episode Phil and Neil (again, Al is 'out doin' stuff') look at Sikh and Hindu brawls in Canada and what the leak of intelligence on Chinese interference in our elections means. Also, Neil is still trying to 'handle' Phil...

This week the guys welcome a guest, Tim O'Neil, former RCMP and CSIS, to talk about the evidence/intelligence conundrum, the need to share info, and how to bring the private sector into the conversation. Oh, and a lot of chat about exposing ourselves...

The ever popular Q&A programme is out! The guys respond to comments and questions from our legions of fans, including whether we are too hard on Justin Trudeau, the role of HUMINT and much more! Oh, and why does Neil think he is a cherub?
