Outpacing AI-speed threats: why Canada must rethink defence innovation
Canada has the momentum to be a world-leader in adapting behavioural AI to the electromagnetic warfare space, but needs to focus on a few keys to success.
The consumer industrial complex
The war in Ukraine heralds a new future for killing machines—and that future belongs to China and Ukraine.
Budget 2025 could have enhanced Canada’s military mobility by investing in roads and rails
Without key defence infrastructure, the task of deterring, confronting, and combatting adversaries that pose a threat will be insurmountably difficult.
Defence focus in budget signals turning point, but some defence experts wary about lack of detail
Defence spending promises in the 2025 budget are ‘seizing the moment,’ but lack previous specificity, says Conference of Defence Associations Institute director of research Kevin Budning.

The legal and economic constraints of the zero-emission vehicle mandate could reduce supply by thousands of vehicles, leaving significant consumer demand unmet.
The modern-day malady of modern-day veterans
Given the mental health struggles many veterans face, the truth is we continue to lose those who have served to their injuries, but it is not as easy to find the number after they’ve left the Forces.
Emissions cap may ‘no longer be required’ as Ottawa favours carbon capture, critical minerals: budget

Creating a well-being society is about ensuring everyone across Canada has equitable access to the goods and services we all need to live a safe and fulfilling life.
