There's an air of excitement in Ottawa as it prepares for King Charles III to arrive and deliver the speech from the throne, which lays out the Liberal government's plan and priorities. His visit is also widely seen as pushback against U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to turn Canada into the 51st state. But according to the new U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, that saga is over and Canada should move on. He sits with Catherine Cullent to discuss that and the next steps in the Canada-U.S. relationship.Plus, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Canada of emboldening Hamas, a Middle East expert joins The House to talk about if there's been a shift in Canadian-Israeli relations. Then, a constitutional expert, a royal watcher, an Indigenous leader and members of Quebec's sovereignty parties talk about what message King Charles' speech will send to Trump — or whether the whole thing ultimately means nothing to the U.S. president.Finally, the parliamentary bureau chief of the National Post and the Ottawa bureau chief of La Presse explain what to look for in the government's to-do list.This episode features the voices of:Pete Hoekstra, U.S. ambassador to CanadaThomas Juneau, University of Ottawa political science professorPatricia Treble, royal watcherPhilippe Lagassé, Carleton University political science professorPerry Bellegarde, former national chief of the Assembly of First NationsPascal Bérubé, Parti Québécois MNACatherine Gentilcore, Parti Québécois MNARuba Ghazal, Québec solidaire MNAStuart Thomson, National Post parliamentary bureau chiefJoel-Denis Bellavance, La Presse Ottawa bureau chief

Israeli tanks and troops that entered Gaza on Friday are now focusing on encircling Gaza City – the population hub of the northern part of the strip. This comes after Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement on Saturday that Israel had entered a “long and difficult” new stage of the war. He stopped short of calling this new phase an all-out invasion, but airstrikes have escalated along with an advancing ground incursion.This strategy could have further implications for the region, and Israel's allies in the West – including Canada – will be looking to figure out their parts in this ongoing war.Thomas Juneau is on the show to help us understand this next phase of the war and what it could mean geopolitically.

The honking may have stopped in Ottawa, but the debate over the Emergencies Act is far from over.

To discuss these reviews, and the need for transparency, Stephanie sits down with Leah West and Thomas Juneau.

Toutes les 9 minutes, au Yémen, un enfant de moins de 5 ans meurt. Il y a 7 ans, le pays a basculé dans une guerre civile qui l'a plongé dans la violence et la pauvreté. Selon l'ONU, d'ici la fin de cette année, le bilan de 377 000 morts sera atteint et 1,3 millions de Yéménites sont aujourd'hui menacés de famine. Pour l'instant, comme l'explique Thomas Juneau dans Le Yémen en guerre publié aux Presses de l'Université de Montréal, le conflit ne montre aucun signe d'apaisement. C'est même tout le contraire, entre fragmentation territoriale et internationalisation de cette guerre.

During the pandemic we have heard a lot about state actors engaging in threat-related activity. But what are non-state actors up to? In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Alex Wilner and Casey Babb to discuss their forthcoming chapter on this very question. Wilner and Baab identify three major activities that non-state actors are engaging in online: delegitimation, recruitment and incitement. After describing these activities, the three discuss what might be done about this problem. At a time when Parliament is investigating the regulation of social media companies, are there options for both the government and private sector to curb the risk of violence? Note - Wilner and Babb's chapter will be appearing in Leah West, Thomas Juneau, and Amarnath Amarasingam, eds. Stress Tested: The COVID-19 Pandemic and Canadian National Security. Calgary: University of Calgary Press – open source and out this spring! Stay tuned to the podcast and Intrepidpodcast.com for more information.

President Biden came into office in January 2021 with promises of holding Saudi Arabia accountable for the death of Jamal Khashoggi, but also to turn the focus of US foreign policy away from the Middle East and towards the Asia-Pacific. Six weeks later, he released a damning intelligence report, but took few other steps to hold Prince Mohammed bin Salman responsible. Nor did he take steps that can be seen as really separating the US from its traditional alliance with the Kingdom. Are there implications of this for Canada? Stephanie sits down with Thomas Juneau to discuss Biden's policy towards Saudi Arabia, the impact on MBS and the Kingdom (and its campaign against dissidents and other former Saudi officials in Canada). They also discuss the disastrous war in Yemen, Canada's controversial arms deal and the future of Canada's relations with the Kingdom.

With the US as an all-powerful neighbour and main trading partner, Canadian analyses of the US elections are naturally focused on what’s at stake for Canada and Canadians. But the November 2020 elections are also eagerly watched in other parts of the world, where the outcome could have important implications. With this series of podcasts, CIPS shifts the spotlight away from Canada to ask what’s at stake in the US elections for other regions of the world and for international cooperation more generally?

Recent weeks have seen dramatic changes in the Middle East – Trump's withdrawal from Syria, the killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the return of mass popular protests in the region. Oh, and Iran just announced it will restart 1000 centrifuges in the latest blow to the nuclear agreement. To make sense of it all, Stephanie sat down (using the magic of the internet) to speak with Intrepid Podcast Editors Amarnath Amarasingam and Thomas Juneau about these developments and what we might expect in the coming months.

For the last official podcast of Season 2, Stephanie plays the role of interviewer to Craig and regular guest (and Intrepid Blog founder) Thomas Juneau for a discussion about Iran.

What are the legalities of the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act and how does that complicate things? And given a series of skirmishes in the Gulf, what is the Trump Administration trying to do, exactly? (Answer: no one knows, including Trump). Finally, is there a role for Canada in all of this? See you in September – we have some great plans ahead.

Canada and Saudi Arabia have been at loggerheads over the past week ever since the Canadian Foreign Minister condemned Saudi Arabia’s arrest of Samar Badawi, a human rights activist. Saudi Arabia's reactions were extreme, including expelling the Canadian ambassador to Saudi Arabia, halting trade negotiations and the pulling of the Saudi Arabian ambassador for diplomatic consultation. To sort this all out, Lawfare senior editor Shannon Togawa Mercer  spoke to Scott Anderson, former diplomat and international lawyer, and Canadian professors Stephanie Carvin of The Intrepid Podcast and Carleton University, Bessma Momani of the Stimpson Center, and Thomas Juneau of the University of Ottowa. They spoke about Saudi Arabian and Canadian strategy, international legal considerations and what comes next.

Thomas Juneau is an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. His research focuses mostly on the Middle East, in particular on Iran, Yemen, Syria and US foreign policy in the region. He is also interested in Canadian foreign and defence policy and in analytical methods. He is the author of Squandered Opportunity: Neoclassical realism and Iranian foreign policy (Stanford University Press, 2015), co-editor of a forthcoming book on strategic analysis in support of international policy-making, and co-editor of Iranian Foreign Policy since 2001: Alone in the world (Routledge, 2013). Discussant: Jeffrey Simpson, Globe and Mail The Islamic Republic of Iran faced a favorable regional environment after 2001, especially in the wake of the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Iran attempted to exploit this window of opportunity by assertively seeking to expand its interests throughout the Middle East. It fell short, however, of fulfilling its longstanding ambition of becoming the dominant power in the Persian Gulf and a leading power in the broader Middle East. Today, Iran is not a fast-expanding regional hegemon, as one often hears, but is rather a mid-sized regional power frustrated at not reaching its ambitions. In this presentation, Juneau will discuss his recent book, Squandered Opportunity (Stanford University Press), in which explores the causes and consequences of Iran’s failed and costly policies. He argues that even though Iran has the potential to emerge as a dominant regional player, the brittle nature of its power and the intervention of specific domestic factors have caused its foreign policy to deviate, sometimes significantly, from optimal outcomes.

El anuncio de un acuerdo logrado entre Irán y un grupo de países occidentales, además de Rusia y China, es un tema abordado este martes por la prensa canadiense. En las páginas del periódico de circulación nacional The Globe and Mail, de Toronto, Thomas Juneau, profesor en la Universidad de Ottawa sostiene que ese acuerdo abre la interrogante sobre cuál será la posición de Canadá frente a Irán. Irán y el grupo de países del P5 + 1, que son China, Francia, Rusia, Inglaterra y Estados Unidos, los cinco miembros permanentes del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, además de Alemania, finalmente llegó a un acuerdo este martes para poner fin a la larga disputa sobre las ambiciones nucleares de la República islámica de Irán. Este acuerdo plantea interrogantes para Canadá, país que ha tomado una postura particularmente agresiva hacia ese país en los últimos años.
