<h3>Is Canada still a meaningful contributor to the Five Eyes intelligence alliance—or is it at risk of being relegated to the sidelines?</h3><h3>A Chatham House forum discussion</h3>Fireside Chat 1 - Jihadi terrorism in today’s threat environment.Fireside Chat 2 - Does Canada Have A National Security Culture?___________________________________________________________________________________________Canada’s credibility with the United States, Five Eyes and other allies may be at an all-time low. A lack of appetite to take on sensitive security issues that overlap diaspora politics and sympathies to terrorist, criminal or malign government statecraft within the Hybrid Warfare domain. How can Canada maintain a functional relationship between national security and continental economic security? Practical steps must be taken to become a more capable and dependable security partner. Enter Phil Gurski, award-winning author of 9/11 The Unfinished Battle, who offers new perspectives from his experience at both the CSE and CSIS on how the country can rebuild its national security networks and image on the world stage.Alongside Gurski, Garry Clement, author of Canada Under Siege and Under Cover and former head of the RCMP's Integrated Proceeds of Crime Division, will address policing, financial and organized crime, and the federal security apparatus, outlining how domestic strength can radiate out to build international security.Using the legacy of 9/11 as a lynchpin for a broader discussion about national security culture, panellists will explore how Canada has allowed institutional knowledge, operational capacity and threat awareness to deteriorate while terrorism, foreign interference, transnational repression, organized crime and economic subversion have continued to evolve. This event will attempt to provide solutions to bridge gaps between policy, planning and operational execution.The growth of foreign interference, transnational repression and economic subversion continues to grow, but our political response has been weak, often influenced by our adversaries and some ideological bias. In bringing together some of the world's foremost experts on security and terror, this is far more than a mere book launch- it is a summit for a new vision of security and diplomacy for a nation and the world.Space is limited; registration on a first-come first-serve basis.
