In this episode of On The Line, Matt Gurney speaks with Christian Leuprecht — professor at the Royal Military College and Queen's University, editor of the Canadian Military Journal, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and visiting fellow at the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies in Brussels. His forthcoming book is The Military's Response to Domestic Crises and Global Pandemics: Civil-Military Relations for Domestic Operations.Their conversation follows Prime Minister Mark Carney's major announcement earlier this week: a historic, immediate increase in Canadian defence spending to hit the NATO target of 2% of GDP. Some of that figure is, yes, a little creative from an accounting perspective. But much of it is real new money — and the scope is massive. This episode of On The Line is brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. June is Indigenous History Month, a time to reflect on how Canada came to be.When American forces marched north in the War of 1812, Métis in the Upper Great Lakes stood in defence of the lands and waters they called home. They fought at Fort Mackinac, at Sault Ste. Marie, and at St. Joseph Island alongside the British to protect what would become Canada. The Crown promised land and security in return. But when the war ended, those promises faded. Métis families who left Drummond Island to remain free from American rule reestablished themselves in Penetanguishene and Sault Ste. Marie. The British promised they'd be able to live free and undisturbed — only to have their land sold out from under them in the following decades. Still, they stayed, built homes, raised families, and held onto their rights.In 2003, the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed what they had always known: that one of the Upper Great Lakes Métis settlements — the Sault Ste. Marie Métis community — holds rights protected under the Constitution.For over two hundred years, Métis in the Upper Great Lakes have fought for this country, contributed to its economy, and defended their place in it. To learn more, visit OntarioMetisFacts.com.But this isn't about expanding capabilities. It's about finally repairing a military that's been allowed to decay. The money won't go as far as you might think. Matt and Christian unpack the geopolitical pressures driving the decision — and the political complacency that's defined Canada's defence posture for nearly 75 years. They talk about the procurement bottlenecks that will make implementation painful, the civil-military dynamics that will determine who's actually accountable, and whether allies in Washington and Europe will be impressed. And finally, they get into the hard questions: how do you sustain this level of spending when Canada is already running structural deficits and showing little economic growth? And for Carney — is this a bold strategic play, or a long-term political gamble? Will the Canadian public really want to spend the amount of money all of this is going to cost?As always, like and subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca.

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 19 – Jeff from BellevilleWelcome back, Hip faithful. This week on the Countdown, I'm joined by one of our most beloved Sunday Evening Jam regulars — the witty, wise, and wonderfully loquacious Jeff from Belleville. You know him. You love him. And if you've ever caught a live stream where he was in the comments, you've probably laughed out loud.But today? Today, we go deeper.Jeff takes us back to his teenage years, up in a century-old Belleville coach house where Road Apples first took hold and never let go. From bootleg tapes and roadside attractions to mosh pits, surprise shows, and backstage encounters — Jeff's Hipstory spans 31 shows and countless life moments tied to the soundtrack of this band.Along the way, we talk memory, meaning, and mortality — including the two cardiac arrests Jeff survived (yes, you read that right), and the unexpected video message he received from Paul Langlois while recovering. This episode reminds us why we do this show in the first place: for the love, for the connection, for the community.We even get a bonus English Lit breakdown of King Lear — and how defiance, irony, and Shakespearean tragedy might be woven into one of the Hip's most poetic tracks. (And yeah, we manage to keep the actual title of that track on the DL. You're welcome.)

Once a revolutionary manufacturing innovation, 3D printing has become a double-edged sword. While the technology is driving progress across sectors like medicine and aerospace, it's also being exploited to produce untraceable, homemade firearms.In this episode, host Lucas Webber is joined by Yannick Veilleux-Lepage, Assistant Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and a leading expert on the intersection of terrorism and emerging technologies. Together, they explore how 3D-printed weapons are being used by extremist actors, how online communities are spreading firearm blueprints, and why policymakers are struggling to respond to this growing security challenge.

Whether it's Canada's trade war with the U.S., NATO spending, or our relations with China and India, whichever party forms Canada's next government is going to have a slew of challenges to deal with.

Ahead of the announcement on reciprocal tariffs today, the Trump Administration is looking to move on from so called Signalgate – after war plans were shared on the commercial messaging app. It really raised eyebrows because a reporter, not just any reporter, but the Editor in Chief of the Atlantic, was added to the chat – likely by accident? It was seen as a gaffe by some while others wonder if it was intentional. Either way – there's a lot more to the story.

fWotD Episode 2840: Ragnar Garrett Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 12 February 2025 is Ragnar Garrett.Lieutenant General Sir Alwyn Ragnar Garrett, (12 February 1900 – 4 November 1977) was a senior commander in the Australian Army. He served as Chief of the General Staff (CGS) from 1958 to 1960.Born in Western Australia, Garrett graduated from the Royal Military College, Duntroon, in 1921. He was adjutant and quartermaster in several regiments of the Australian Light Horse before undertaking staff training in England, which he completed just as the Second World War broke out. Garrett joined the Second Australian Imperial Force soon afterwards, and commanded the 2/31st Battalion in England before seeing action with Australian brigades in Greece and Crete in 1941. Promoted to colonel the following year, he held senior positions with I Corps in New Guinea and II Corps on Bougainville in 1944–1945. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his staff work.After the war, Garrett served two terms as commandant of the Staff College, Queenscliff, in 1946–1947 and 1949–1951. Between these appointments he was posted to Japan with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force. Promoted to major general, he took charge of Western Command in August 1951, and became Deputy Chief of the General Staff in January 1953. He took over Southern Command as a lieutenant general in October 1954, and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1957. As CGS from March 1958, Garrett focused on rearmament and reorganisation, initiating the Army's short-lived restructure into a "pentropic" formation. He was knighted in 1959. After retiring from the military in June 1960, Garrett became honorary colonel of the Royal Australian Regiment, and was principal of the Australian Administrative Staff College until 1964. He died at Mornington, Victoria, in 1977.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Wednesday, 12 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Ragnar Garrett on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Ivy.

While the United States' 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports are on hold, observers said the tariffs will return if Canada fails to meet further US demands, and the bilateral relationship would remain challenging.尽管目前美国对加拿大进口商品征收25%关税的命令处于暂停状态，但观察人士表示，如果加拿大无法满足美国的进一步要求，关税将再次实施，双边关系仍面临挑战。During the 30-day suspension of the 25 percent tariff, Adam Chapnick, a professor of defense studies at the Royal Military College of Canada, contended that negotiations between Canada and the US will proceed quietly and in conjunction with discussions with Mexico.加拿大国防研究领域学者、皇家军事学院教授亚当·查普尼克认为，在25%关税暂缓实施的30天内，加拿大与美国将悄然进行谈判，并与和墨西哥的讨论同步开展。"However, if Canada fails to meet further US demands, the tariffs could certainly return," he told China Daily.他告诉《中国日报》：“然而，如果加拿大不能满足美国的进一步要求，关税肯定会再次实施。”He said that "most Canadian officials assume that US President Donald Trump will reiterate his demand that Canada drastically increase defense spending".他表示，“大多数加拿大官员认为，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将重新要求加拿大大幅增加国防开支。”Canada is one of eight NATO countries out of 30 that are estimated to be falling short of the NATO defense spending target of 2 percent, according to Canadian broadcaster CBC News, which reported that Ottawa was estimated to spend about 1.37 percent of GDP in 2024.据加拿大广播公司报道，北约30个成员国中有8个国家的国防开支预计未达到北约国防开支目标（占GDP的2%），加拿大就是其中之一。该报道称，渥太华2024年的国防开支预估约占其GDP的1.37%。Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair told CBC News last month that it was "absolutely achievable" for Canada to meet the spending level in two years.加拿大国防部长比尔·布莱尔上个月告诉加拿大广播公司说，加拿大在两年内达到这一开支水平是“绝对可以实现的”。Public Safety Canada announced an expansion of its $1.3 billion border security plan on Feb 4, introducing measures such as appointing a fentanyl monitor to enhance interdiction efforts with US counterparts.2月4日，加拿大公共安全部宣布扩大一项投资13亿美元的边境安全计划，并采取任命芬太尼监测员等措施以加强与美国的拦截合作。"It's necessary and should have been made regardless of President Trump's demands," Chapnick said. "While the US president's stance may have slightly accelerated moves that would have and should have been made anyway, the decision aligns with Canada's preexisting security objectives," he said.查普尼克说：“这一做法是必要且应当的，无论特朗普总统提出什么要求。虽然美国总统的立场可能略微加速了一些本来就会进行、也应该进行的行动，但这一决定符合加拿大既定的安全目标。”M. Scott Taylor, former president and fellow of the Canadian Economics Association, said he expects the tariff situation to be resolved within the 30-day window and that a Canadian response to harden the border and start renegotiating the trade deal will happen.加拿大经济学协会前主席兼会员斯科特·泰勒表示，他预计关税问题将在30天窗口期内得到解决，而加拿大也将采取行动，加强边境管控并开始重新谈判贸易协议。"Canada could and should liberalize trade in dairy products as a means to placate American demands," he told China Daily.他告诉《中国日报》：“加拿大可以也应该放宽乳制品贸易，以平息美国的要求。”However, he noted that the bilateral relationship will remain challenging as long as Trump is in office.但他也指出，只要特朗普在任，双边关系将继续面临挑战。Taylor said if the tariffs remain in place, it will underscore the need for Canada to diversify export markets. And significant opposition to tariffs is likely to come from the US business community.泰勒说，如果关税继续存在，这将凸显加拿大实现出口市场多元化的必要性。而且，美国商界很可能会对关税表示强烈反对。Consequences foreseen预见的后果For Canadian consumers and businesses, Taylor predicted that the Canadian dollar is likely to fall, driving up the price of groceries and imported inputs.泰勒预测，对于加拿大消费者和企业来说，加元可能会贬值，从而导致食品和进口产品价格上涨。He said he anticipates a small uptick in inflation, but it will be temporary. "If the 25 percent tariffs become permanent, it would lower Canadian GDP and limit our growth prospects," he said.他预计通胀率会小幅上升，但只是暂时的。“如果25%的关税成为永久，加拿大的国内生产总值将降低，增长前景也会受到限制，”他说。Sui Sui, a professor at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University, characterized the US tariffs as a form of economic imperialism.多伦多城市大学特德·罗杰斯管理学院教授隋绥将美国的关税称为一种“经济帝国主义”。She argued that the US imposes tariffs as a tool of pressure against countries that do not comply with its demands.她认为，美国将关税作为工具，用来对不遵守其要求的国家施加压力。Sui said that because more than 70 percent of Canada's exports go to the US, the levies have the potential to severely undermine integrated supply chains.隋绥说，由于加拿大70%以上的出口产品流向美国，这些关税有可能严重破坏一体化供应链。Sui said she expects the tariffs to lead to higher costs for businesses and Canadian consumers.隋绥表示，她预计关税将导致企业和加拿大消费者的成本上升。"If our exports decline, it's not just businesses that are hurt—that would increase the price of groceries, as well as other imported products," she said, adding the government would also have less money to fund social welfare, infrastructure and education.她表示，“如果我们的出口下降，受伤害的不仅仅是企业——还将导致食品和其他进口产品的价格上涨”。她补充说，政府也将没有足够的资金用于社会福利、基础设施、教育。In retaliation against the US tariffs, Canada announced its own reciprocal tariffs. But Sui said Canadian tariffs should focus on targeting certain sectors in the US so it can have a strong economic impact but minimize damage to its own economy.为回击美国加征关税，加拿大宣布了自己的报复性加税。但隋绥说，加拿大应该针对美国的某些行业加税，这样既可以产生剧烈的经济影响，又能将自身经济的损害降到最低。"A broad boycott of all US goods isn't realistic," she said. Instead, Sui suggested focusing on companies that previously had Canadian manufacturing operations but relocated to the US due to US pressure.“大范围抵制所有美国商品是不现实的，”她说。相反，隋绥建议将重点放在那些之前曾在加拿大设有制造业务，但由于美国压力而迁至美国的公司上。"We can encourage them to return by requiring more domestic sourcing and production," she said.“我们可以通过增加国内采购和生产来鼓励它们回流，”她说。Sui said that Canada should strategically impose tariffs on goods produced in states that strongly support Trump, as well as luxury products. "Liquor and high-end goods are fair targets because they have minimal impact on ordinary Canadians."隋绥说，加拿大应该采取战略性措施，对那些强烈支持特朗普的州生产的商品及奢侈品征收关税。“酒类和高端商品是合理目标，因为它们对普通加拿大人的影响微乎其微。”She argued that Canada can work with other nations negatively affected by US trade policies.她认为，加拿大可以与其他受美国贸易政策负面影响的国家合作。retaliationn.报复；反击

Asa McKercher and Michael D. Stevenson discuss the topics covered in the volume such as international relations in a nuclear armed early Cold War era, domestic politics, and national identity. Asa McKercher is an assistant professor of history at the Royal Military College of Canada. His publications include Canada and the World Since 1867 and Canada and Camelot: Canadian-American Relations in the Kennedy Era. Michael D. Stevenson is a professor of history at Lakehead University.

Before Donald Trump, the Biden administration wrote to PM Justin Trudeau, and Congress had The Northern Border Caucus as Americans had real concerns about the proliferation of threats from Canada to the U.S. - Is it all posturing by Donald Trump that Canada is not fulfilling our agreement to have each other's back? Our guest says, indeed not only posturing by Trump. - On border security, the premiers are stepping up with their own plans, in the absence of federal leadership. And the premiers' plans can actually be implemented, while the federal plan "isn't really worth the paper it's written on." And on the subject of tariffs, does it make any sense for Canada to threaten retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.?   Guest: Christian Leuprecht.

United States President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House is renewing pressure on Canada to focus more on defense spending and border security. In February, Trump warned NATO members that if they didn't pay their fair share — spending 2 per cent of their country's GDP on their military — they should not assume the U.S. would leap to their defence.  In July, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada would meet the 2 per cent target, but only in 2032. The Liberals have invested billions to update the Canadian Armed Forces, but decades of underinvestment have led to serious capability gaps. This week, on “It's Political,” we take a look at the state of the Canadian Armed Forces and ask how prepared Canada is for the threats we face. First, we'll hear from experts: Canadian Army Commander Lieutenant-General Michael Wright, Carleton University Associate Professor Philippe Lagassé, University of Calgary Associate Professor Rob Huebert, Observatory on Politics and Security in the Arctic Director Mathieu Landriault, Canadian Global Affairs Institute President David Perry, Royal Military College of Canada Professor Jane Boulden, and retired Royal Canadian Air Force brigadier general Kevin Whale. Then, Althia will sit down with National Defence Minister Bill Blair.  Some of the clips this week were sourced from the House of Commons, CPAC, the Halifax International Security Forum, the CBC, CTV, Global, NBC and ABC.  This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton.  Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Cumplir 75 años este año (al igual que nuestra Constitución Política) como institución responsable de garantizar la pureza del sufragio es un hito histórico del cuarto poder de la República, nuestro Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones. El prestigio nacional e internacional que tiene se comprueba cuando calificados estudios y reportes reconocen su incuestionable solvencia. En el año 2023, ocupó el quinto lugar regional en el Índice de Percepción de Integridad Electoral, tal como lo certifican el Royal Military College de Canadá, la Universidad de East Anglia, Reino Unido y la Universidad de Queens. Este año el Índice de Democracia del Instituto V-Dem de Suecia, que es el conjunto de datos globales más grande acerca de democracia, le otorga a Costa Rica 0,94 de 1, en la categoría de índice de democracia electoral. Para celebrar esta fecha y apuntalar sus tareas conversaremos con las magistradas electorales Eugenia Zamora y Zetty Bou.

He shares actionable steps, such as incorporating simple practices like breathwork and sunlight exposure, to achieve a deeper state of peace and joy.

It has long been said that the United States has benefited from its geography, when it comes to national security. This is attributed to vast oceans to the east and west, along with friendly neighbors to the north and south. The same can be said for Canada, with Santa being a pretty friendly neighbor to the north, one would assume. Do to this shared advantage, which might be less true today, Canada and the United States have long worked together to secure "Fortress North America". From the defensive structures of NORAD and NATO, to the continued force projection taking on some of the biggest challenges of the day, these two countries have collaborated in a number of military spaces.While it would take too long to dive into all the shared challenges that these countries face on the global stage, we did take a special opportunity to speak with the Canadian Defense Attaché to the United States about several of the biggest issues of the day. Major General  Michel-Henri St-Louis of the Canadian Armed Forces graciously gave his time to talk about NATO, NORAD, Ukraine, and the current state of Canada's military and integration with American forces. With a thirty-plus year military career, the Major General has held many high level commands across multiple theatres, as he has helped to ensure Canada upholds its international security obligations. This episode tackles important questions, from what challenges do the armed forces face in terms of readiness, what support has the Canadian government provided to Ukraine, and how our adversaries actively work to undermine important foreign policy conversations here in the US and Canada. This fascinating and unique conversation provides access to top level military thinking, accessible for all.Major-General Michel-Henri St-Louis is an infantry officer from le Royal 22e Régiment, currently serving as the Defence Attaché to the United States. Born in Managua, Nicaragua, he and his family moved to the south shore of Montreal in 1978 during the time of the Sandinista Revolution. Before assuming his current responsibilities at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC, MGen St-Louis was the Acting Commander of the Canadian Army. This followed his appointment as the Canadian Army's Training Authority. Preceding this, he served as the Commander of Joint Task Force - IMPACT in the Middle East for more than a year (mid 2019 – mid 2020). Other previous commands and appointments include Deputy Commanding General for Operations of America's First Corps (I Corps - US Army) at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (2017-2019), command of 5e Groupe-Brigade Mécanisé du Canada (2015-2017), as well as commander of the last Canadian Battle-Group in charge of combat operations in Panjwai, Kandahar (2010-2011).Through his service he and his family have lived in Saint-Jean, Québec City, Oromocto, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Washington, D.C., Washington State and Kingston (Ontario). He has deployed on 6 different missions, to such places as Srebrenica (Bosnia), Rastevic (Croatia), Zgon (Bosnia), Kabul, Kandahar (Afghanistan) and the OP IMPACT Middle East area or operations (Kuwait-Iraq-Jordan-Lebanon).He has attended the US PINNACLE and CAPSTONE Leadership Programs, followed seminars at the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies (NDU) and the US Army War College. He is a graduate of the National War College (Washington, D.C., U.S.A.), the Canadian Forces College, le Collège Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean, the Royal Military College in Kingston, and the Canadian Army Command and Staff College.

Perhaps the most perverse Russian invasion narrative, is that Ukraine is not old, and is not distinct from Russia in any case. But Ukraine is not just a footnote to Russian imperial history. As a nation, it is old, different, and diverse. Just as it went unrecognised by Russia, it has not been understood or recognised by the outside world either, for a variety of reasons. 100 years ago, few noticed its disappearance as an independent state; but that has now changed. Putin's tyranny and violence have accelerated the evolution of Ukrainian identity and increased the pressure for social, political, and economic change. ---------- Lubomyr Luciuk is a Canadian academic and author of books and articles in the field of political geography and Ukrainian history.
