Welcome to QC Brief with Michael Forian!

The Quebec provincial campaign is officially under way.

On this first episode we go over the different parties, their campaign launches, some strategies going forward, early polls and of course, the "tip of the hat" and "wag of the finger" moments.

He’s back! My guest today is none other than Michael Forian. We quickly get the formalities out of the way because there is much to talk about, between the United Conservative Party leadership race out west in Alberta, the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race and the upcoming provincial elections in Quebec! I hope you enjoy this conversation!

My guest today is Ingrid Ravary-Konopka. I had the enormous pleasure and opportunity to work quite closely with Ingrid while she was the director of Justin Trudeau’s riding office since his very first election. On this episode we go over some of the things that inspired her to pursue that career, the highs and lows and everything in between. We also talk about her life post politics and how different and somewhat more normal that life can be. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

My guest today is Julian Spencer-Churchill. He is quite frankly the reason I remained in the Political Science program at Concordia University. His Strategic Studies courses were absolutely mesmerizing and I couldn’t think of anyone better to explain what is happening on the ground in Ukraine. In addition to being an incredible University professor, Julian is an author, the Chairperson of the Canadian Center for Strategic Studies and has been a key advisor to the Canadian government and intelligence services on Pakistan. His principal research focus is on arms racing and its impact on war causation, the sharing of nuclear weapons, naval strategy, and military doctrine and planning. His field research has included work at the US Pentagon and State Department, Egypt, Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, and most frequently, Pakistan.

I hope you enjoy this conversation!

My guest today is an old friend that I haven’t seen nor spoken to in a fairly long time. Marios Efthymiopoulos is the President of Strategy International, as well as an academic specializing in strategy and security, crisis management, EU and NATO affairs and foreign policy and diplomacy, just to name a few. I asked him to come on the podcast and share his wealth of knowledge while discussing the recent developments in Ukraine following the Russian invasion. I hope you enjoy this conversation!
