Why Canada Is Ignoring a Growing National Security Threat
from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview
National security analyst Joe Adam George of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute joins Stephen LeDrew to deliver a stark warning about extremism, radicalization, and Canada’s growing security blind spot.Fresh from Washington, where he testified on ISIS-related threats, George explains why treating extremist demonstrations as harmless protest activity is a dangerous mistake. Decades of failed policy, poor vetting, mass migration, and political denial have created conditions where radicalization can grow openly - and governments at all levels are failing to act.The conversation also addresses the responsibility of political leadership, the role of community accountability, and the uncomfortable reality that ignoring early warning signs only increases future risk.This is a serious discussion about national security, public safety, and why Canada can no longer afford complacency.
