CIN/RCR VIRTUAL INTELLIGENCE COFFEE SHOP (VICS) ON THURSDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER - THREATS TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF CANADA
Ladies and gentlemen,
The next VICS will be held on Thursday, 25 September 2025, at 7:00 p.m. (Eastern), on Zoom. The VICS format is outlined in the "More" menu on the website homepage.
To begin our fall program, you are invited to sit down with a hot coffee, or any other preferred drink, and join others in a discussion about the threats to the national security of Canada. Prime Minister Carney has describe the current Canadian circumstance as a "rupture" from our traditional middle power status and relationship with the United States. There are a number of other world events and developments that must be recognized for the danger they pose to our country.
We would like to hear what you think are the imminent threats to the national security of Canada, and what you see as being their practical impact on Canada and Canadians. Sure, maybe climate change is a threat, but what does that actually mean in practice? We could discuss which of the threats facing us are truly existential, which are troublesome, and which might only be a nuisance.
For your information, our later VICS will be held on Thursday, 23 October and Thursday 27 November 2025. Topics will be announced in due course. Send us your ideas for VICS topics in the meantime.
