Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 730 - How Arctic Security has Changed with Heather Exner-Pirot

Brian speaks with Heather Exner-Pirot. Heather is a Senior Fellow at the MacDonald-Laurier Institute and currently a Visiting Scholar at the Wilson Centre in Washington DC. Last week she published an op ed on how the Arctic security environment has changed with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In particular, she supports Canada’s investments in NORAD and thinks it’s time that NATO has a more explicit focus in the Arctic, which Canada has opposed, for good reasons, in the past. We also discuss the negative environmental and security impact of Canada’s reluctance to approve Canadian LNG, mines and oil and gas development.
