Is Canada Still a Secure Ally? The Growing Infiltration of Our Institutions

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Canada, once a stalwart ally on the global stage, is now struggling because it now has the reputation of an unreliable country. Joe Adam George, security analyst with the Macdonald Laurier Institute, discusses how Canada's standing has diminished over the years, with serious concerns about Hezbollah and other criminal groups using Canada as a transnational hub. Despite warnings from U.S. agencies about Hezbollah's activities in Canada, the RCMP sat on crucial information for over a decade. With political involvement and infiltration from various global bad actors, Canada’s institutions are at risk. Joe explains how these issues, combined with political agendas, have led to Canada's weakened position as a trusted ally. Joe Adam George sits down with Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
