Is Canada still a SAFE place?

*NOTE:  This interview was recorded in late Nov. of 2025.

Canada is generally regarded as a safe and peaceful country.  But is that changing?

For the first time, the head of CSIS Dan Rogers, addressed the public last year with these stats: 

1 in 10 terrorism investigations in Canada involves at least one minor under the age of 18.

There have been 20 violent extremist attacks in Canada resulting in 29 deaths since 2014. 

He also warned about Chinese and Russian interference in Canada, and the weaponization of Canadian data and information. 

As we enter a new year, we thought it important to take stock of where we are with national security and the complex threat environment we face with international relations and security expert Stephanie Carvin.
