Stephen LeDrew - The Shocking ISIS Numbers Canadians Never Hear

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

National security analyst with the Macdonald Laurier Institute Joe Adam George joins Stephen LeDrew to examine a deeply troubling and little-known reality - Canada produced more ISIS fighters per capita than the United States.Drawing on CSIS data, George explains how roughly 200 individuals with ties to Canada traveled to Syria to join ISIS at its peak, a figure that dwarfs the U.S. total when adjusted for population size. The discussion explores how radicalization takes root, the role of failed integration policies, economic disillusionment, and the consequences of political inaction.LeDrew and George also confront the uncomfortable questions Canada continues to avoid - why hate laws are not enforced, why known extremists are tolerated, and why political expediency has replaced public safety.A serious conversation about national security, social cohesion, and the risks of continuing to look the other way.
