Twenty Years of Trust, One Day Without Guardrails: What Google Earth’s AI Integration Reveals About Emerging Information Threats
What happens when a trusted source of credible evidence becomes something just about anyone can fabricate? Google’s short-lived integration of its Nano Banana 2 image-generation technology into Google Earth offered a glimpse. Dorigen Gray examines how increasingly accessible generative AI tools lower the barriers to manipulating trusted sources of evidence, and what this means for verification, disinformation, public trust and national security.
Adjusting to Modern Warfare: How the Russo-Ukrainian War Changed Aerial Warfare
This article examines how the Russo-Ukrainian war led to the proliferation of low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within modern military strategy. Specifically, it highlights how Canada and its NATO allies are shifting toward procuring first-person-view (FPV) drones as highly cost-effective alternatives to multi-million-dollar conventional hardware. The article ultimately argues that this technological shift forces Canada to rethink its own defence posture—not only by deploying UAVs to assert Arctic sovereignty, but also by modernizing NORAD to counter the growing threat of UAVs.
Thawing Foundations: Permafrost and the Future of Arctic Defence
Canada’s Arctic security debate mostly focuses on the visible signs of geopolitical change. While Russian military activity, Chinese interest in polar routes, and NORAD modernization dominate the debate, one serious threat is occurring under Canadians’ feet. As permafrost thaws, the physical ground supporting Arctic infrastructure is becoming less stable. This is not only an environmental Read More…
Gold For Guns: How Canada Can Counter Russia’s War Economy in Africa
How does Russia fund its war economy? In this piece, Jonah Moffatt examines how Russian influence in the African Sahel has created sanction-proof revenue streams that allow Moscow to fuel the war in Ukraine, while contributing to a climate of instability in NATO’s backyard. He argues that Canada, a leader in international mining, can counter Russia’s destabilizing influence in Africa by increasing economic partnerships with Sahelian states, emerging as an unlikely leader of NATO’s southern strategy.
Iran Precedent: Canada’s Support Without Participation
As the US and Israel’s campaign against Iran continues, it has potential to draw NATO, and Canada as a member of the alliance into uncharted territory. Canada finds itself walking a diplomatic tightrope: offering political support to its allies while firmly keeping its troops out of the fight. This “support without participation” stance has allowed Canada to preserve alliance solidarity and avoid military overreach, but it’s increasingly tested as missiles enter NATO airspace and resources grow thin across theaters. With European allies diverging in their responses, the big question remains: how long can political backing alone satisfy an alliance under mounting pressure? For now, Canada is banking on de-escalation but the Tehran precedent, though on a two-week pause, is still very much a work in progress.
Canada’s Dual Exposure to the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is barely 30 miles wide at its narrowest point, yet it is arguably one of the most consequential stretches of water on earth. Through this narrow corridor connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman flows approximately 20 million barrels of oil per day (b/d); roughly 20% of global petroleum Read More…
From Caracas to Canada: What U.S. Doctrine Means for the Northwest Passage
Following the American intervention in Venezuela, Jonah Moffatt assesses the “Trump Corollary” outlined in the 2025 National Security Strategy, and what this hemispheric vison of security means for the long-contested Northwest Passage. He argues that through diplomatic coordination with its Nordic allies, Canada can utilize the forum and frameworks of NATO to protect its national interests while emerging as a leader of multilateralism in a time of uncertainty.
Rules not Rockets: Energy Regulation as Foreign Policy by Other Means
Energy security debates often focus on supply: who produces energy, who transports it, and who depends on whom. This framing has centered on the nexus between physical assets and trade flows—pipelines, terminals, generation capacity, and shipping routes. Increasingly, however, strategic vulnerability is shaped less by the location of infrastructure than by who controls it and Read More…
From Kyiv to Taipei: Why the Russian-Ukrainian War Matters in the Indo-Pacific
Alexander Morrow and Nataliia Dikalchuk explain why Ukraine’s fight matters far beyond Europe. The war is reframing deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, prompting Taiwan to prioritize self-reliant defence and pushing China to reassess Western unity. Their analysis highlights how democratic resilience in one region shapes security calculations in another.
