At reports say Donald Trump joked at one point during his dinner with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday night that if Canada can't handle the economic effects of a punishing 25 per cent tariff on its goods, it should become the 51st state of the U.S. Christopher Sands, Director of the Canada Institute, Wilson Centre joins Ben to analyze the implications of this "joke".

‘Peak Disorder' is Jason's coinage for: the democratic world's inability to exert ordering capacity to respond to new challenges except if they are existentially pressing because we are simply too divided, distracted, and overtaxed by existing crises. This phenomenon of ‘peak disorder' is epitomized over the last two months by events in Bangladesh.     Bangladesh's embattled prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, fled the country on Aug 5, 2024, after a brutal government crackdown against protests had resulted in hundreds of deaths. The country's president, the armed forces, and political parties selected a temporary “caretaker” government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. The key opposition party the BNP has accepted the transition. However, some factions in the country are upset with the nature of the caretaker government's reforms and the slow progress towards elections.   Bangladesh is a country with strong economic potential and many opportunities for progress, but its transition from corrupt populism/creeping authoritarianism back to democracy needs to be aided by outside economic help and by being insulated from disordering geopolitical rivalries. Bangladesh's transition is unfolding amidst Peak Disorder. This makes it very fraught. To delve deeper into events in Bangladesh and what they say about ‘Peak Disorder', Jason is joined by Michael Kugelman the Director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Centre.    To get more background information and perspective about this very complex topic pleasure join our substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/      Producer: George McDonagh  Exec Producer: Neil Fearn    Show Notes Links:  Michael's sterling interview with The Daily Star that gets into the geopolitics of the situation:  https://www.thedailystar.net/opinion/geopolitical-insights/news/the-geopolitics-sheikh-hasinas-fall-explained-3676511  Michael's bio: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/person/michael-kugelman   For a real concise takes on the facts of what has happened in Bangladesh:  https://theconversation.com/bangladeshs-protests-explained-what-led-to-pms-ouster-and-the-challenges-that-lie-ahead-236190  A good overview podcast by ABC (Australia) about how we got to where we are now which also interviews Michael Kugelman:  https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/rearvision/bangladesh-politics-and-the-business-of-remembering/104180756  And for an update on the current state of play in Bangladesh and what might lie ahead:  https://apnews.com/article/bangladesh-yunus-hasina-khaleda-zia-election-3525d4c39c748a974f67b62efadb23b9  And for the conceptual take on how Tyrants rise and fall revisit Ep 67 with Marcel Dirsus: https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/bcd89a117331e217c82af1d018e28d9e  Learn more about your ad choices.

GUEST: Mark Temnycky - Ukrainian-American freelance journalist. ---------- The July 2023 NATO Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania was a chance to end the ambiguity and incrementalism that has left Ukraine vulnerable to Russian aggression and continues to feed Putin's delusions that he can win the war and beat the Western alliance. The NATO summit, Ukraine's summer counter-offensive, and the recent instability between Russia and the Wagner Group have ensured that the Russo-Ukrainian war remains in the headlines. But what discussions are happening behind closed doors and what events on the ground may be influencing the direction of the war and its aftermath? Will the clear moral stance of supporting Ukraine in wartime, descend into messy compromises in peacetime, and ethical trade-offs with the pariah terror state, Russia? ---------- SPEAKER: Mark Temnycky is a Ukrainian-American freelance journalist, based just outside of New York City, and is a non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Centre. He has covered Eastern European affairs and energy security matters for seven years, with articles published in The New York Times, Forbes, Daily Mail, EUobserver, Kyiv Post, Atlantic Council, Wilson Centre, and other US and European news outlets and think tanks.

The Russian government's deniable use of rogues, businessmen, enthusiasts, mercenaries, and political technologists confounded policymakers as Moscow waged a covert invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Did the war in Crimea and Donbas reveal the Kremlin's ‘hybrid war' playbook – or did Moscow quickly lose control over the forces it had unleashed? What's clear, is that the international community dramatically misunderstood the very nature of this war and was unprepared for the Kremlin's sudden and brutal escalation to full-scale war in 2022. ---------- Anna Arutunyan is a Russian American journalist, analyst, and author. She is a global fellow at the Wilson Centre. Her acclaimed research and analysis focusses on Putin's volunteer militants, the pro-Russian insurgency in Donbas, and the war it escalated into in eastern Ukraine. ---------- BOOKS: Hybrid Warriors: Proxies, Freelancers and Moscow's Struggle for Ukraine (2022) The Putin Mystique (2014) The Media in Russia (2009) ---------- LINKS: https://twitter.com/scrawnya https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/hybrid-warriors/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

This Saturday is Remembrance Day, our annual opportunity to stop and remember Canada's war dead who made the ultimate sacrifice and the ones that came home. But not all wars are remembered equally. For instance, the Korean War has long been characterized as “the forgotten war”, so on this 70th anniversary of the unofficial end of the Korean War, how can we make sure that the forgotten war gets remembered? On Remembrance Day 2013 in Guelph, the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War was given special consideration in the ceremony. Frank Bayne, a retired colonel who spent 14 months in Korea during the war, was the keynote speaker, and he commended his comrades for their bravery and denounced the characterization of the Korean War as a "conflict" or a "police action." Just five years after the end of World Ward II, 30,000 Canadian served in Korea, which is not exactly small potatoes. There are plenty of scholars who are doing their best to make sure the Korean War gets remembered, and one of them is Dr. Andrew Burtch, a historian at the Canadian War Museum that specializes in post-World War II history. A few years ago he took part in a virtual event for the global affairs think tank the Wilson Centre to discuss Canada's participation in the war and how it was key to the United Nations success in repelling the North Korean invasion. So why isn't the Korean War more of a part of Canada's story? Dr. Burtch will join us on this week's edition of the podcast to shed some light on the Korean War and Canada's role in it. He will discuss what the war was about, and the complexities around how it ended. He will also talk about the role that Canada played among the UN forces, how Canadians distinguished themselves on the battlefield, and how the Korean War was thought about on the homefront as it was happening. Also, he will talk about the best ways to ensure that the Korean War is no longer forgotten. So let's all remember the Korean War together, 70 years later, on this week's Guelph Politicast! The Canadian War Museum presently has an exhibit dedicated to the Korean War called “Canada, Korea, and the War” and it runs until March 31 at the Museum in Ottawa. You can follow Burtch on social media @PostWarHist on Twitter, and you can buy his book Give Me Shelter: The Failure of Canada's Cold War Civil Defence wherever you can buy books. Remembrance Day services here in Guelph will take place on Saturday morning at McCrae House and then downtown at the Sleeman Centre, and to learn more check out the Legion Branch 234 website. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, Google, TuneIn and Spotify .

Talk of normalisation between Saudi Arabia and Israel is hotting up. Israel signed the Abraham Accords with the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco in 2020, and were deemed to be a major development in the region.Israel is now looking to Saudi Arabia for a normalisation deal, which if achieved would have a major impact on the Middle East. But the deal is proving more difficult than the first normalisation deals. There are three main stumbling points. A Saudi security pact. Saudi nuclear ambitions. And the Palestine issue. This week on The New Arab Voice, we ask why Israel and Saudi Arabia are seeking normalisation? Can the Saudis get the security pact they want? Will the US agree to work with the Saudis on a civilian nuclear programme? Can the Palestinians get concessions from Israel, as part of the deal? And can the government of Benjamin Netanyahu's government survive a deal with Saudi Arabia?Joining us to talk all things normalisation, we have Gerald Feierstein, a distinguished senior fellow on US diplomacy at the Middle East Institute (@MiddleEastInst), and Director of its Arabian Peninsula Affairs programme.Also, Joe Macaron (@macaronjoe), a Global Fellow with the Wilson Centre's Middle East Program (@TheWilsonCenter) and research analyst primarily focusing on US strategy, conflict analysis, and international relations in the Middle East.This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).

Hoy en el programa te traemos una entrevista exclusiva con el expresidente de Colombia, Iván Duque quien se encuentra en Sídney en calidad de miembro del Consejo Asesor de la Fundación FIFA y como miembro distinguido del centro Wilson Centre de EEUU. También te traemos las voces apasionadas de los hinchas de la selección de España en Australia quienes han organizado varios encuentros para apoyar a La Roja en la final este domingo (20 de agosto) a las 8pm.

Much of the work of Dublin-born Irish photographer Trish Morrissey is a study of the language of photography through still and moving images, using performance and wit as tools to investigate the boundaries of photographic meaning. Although most of Trish's work features her as the protagonist, she does not consider the photographs to be self portraits per se, though they can be read that way. She uses humour as a tool to disarm the viewer, hoping it wil then evaporate, leaving a slow burning psychologically tense afterglow. Weaving fact and fiction, Trish plunges into the heart of such issues as family experiences and national identities, feminine and masculine roles, and relationships between strangers.Her work has been exhibited widely, including in the shows ‘Landscape, Portrait: Now and Then' at the Hestercombe Gallery in 2021; ‘Who's Looking at the family now?' at the London Art Fair 2019 and in the solo show ‘Trish Morrissey: A certain slant of light' at the Francesca Maffeo Gallery in 2018 and most recently in 2022 he exhibition Trish Morrissey, Autofictions; Twenty Years of Photography and Film, at Serlachius Museum Gustaf, Finland.Her work is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Fine Art, Houston, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The National Media Museum, Bradford and the Wilson Centre for Photography, London and was published in 2022 in the book Autofictions to coincide with the aforementioned exhibition in Finland.In episode 209, Trish discusses, among other things:Her recent retrospective and bookThe Front projectHer parents family albumReading pictures from body languageHer collaborative project with her daughterThe performative side of her practiceA Certain Slant of LightExploring the female experienceEarly lifeResidency in AustraliaWorking with videoReferenced:Andy GrundbergZed NelsonNicholas Nixon, Brown SistersKate BestMark HarriottHilary MantelDiane Arbus“Everything I've done, when I've looked back on it I've realised is actually trying things on.

Brian interviews Heather Exner-Pirot. Heather is a Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and currently a Visiting Scholar at the Wilson Centre in Washington DC. We discuss critical minerals in Canada and a need for a national strategy. Heather Exner-Pirot has recently written articles on each of these three issues: huge natural gas fields in Canada that go unexploited in a global energy emergency, blockbuster nuclear deals, and partnerships with indigenous people that could unblock resource development.

The Internet and time – how the World Wide Web has transformed our understanding of history as well as the future. Laurie Taylor talks to Jason Steinhauer, public historian and Global Fellow at the Wilson Centre, Washington, DC, whose latest study argues that the tangled complexity of history that we see via Instagram and Twitter is leading to an impoverished, even a distorted knowledge of the past. Algorithms play in a big role in determining the versions of history which we are seeing. Content does not rise to the top of news feeds based on its scholarly or factual merits. Political agendas and commercial agendas are almost always at play. So how can we become more discerning consumers of historical knowledge? They're joined by Helga Nowotny, Professor Emerita of Social Studies of Science a ETH Zurich, whose research suggests that our dependence on predictive algorithms might be closing down the horizon of our future, giving us a feeling of control whilst narrowing our choices. Producer: Jayne Egerton

Brian speaks with Heather Exner-Pirot. Heather is a Senior Fellow at the MacDonald-Laurier Institute and currently a Visiting Scholar at the Wilson Centre in Washington DC. Last week she published an op ed on how the Arctic security environment has changed with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In particular, she supports Canada's investments in NORAD and thinks it's time that NATO has a more explicit focus in the Arctic, which Canada has opposed, for good reasons, in the past. We also discuss the negative environmental and security impact of Canada's reluctance to approve Canadian LNG, mines and oil and gas development.

Brigadier Robbie Boyd, formerly of the British Army and currently Managing Partner at Gartner, and Katarina Kertysova, Policy Fellow at the European Leadership Network and Global Fellow at the Kennan and Polar Institutes of the Wilson Centre in Washington, discuss with Dr Neil Melvin, Director, International Security Studies at RUSI, the role that NATO is seeking to establish in the Arctic and High North, as tensions in the region increase and as European security undergoes significant shifts in the wake of Russia's war on Ukraine.

The clinical teaching unit is a widely-used clinical training model that requires reform to prepare physicians for practice in the 21st century.In a systematic review in CMAJ, Dr. Brandon Tang and co-authors identified practices in internal medicine clinical teaching units that contribute to improved clinical education and health care delivery.Dr. Tang, a PGY4 in general internal medicine at the University of Toronto, speaks with Drs. Blair Bigham and Mojola Omole about the findings of the review, his experience with CTUs, what inspired him to look into the research, and his thoughts on how CTUs can be reimagined to improve both learner and patient outcomes. Drs. Bigham and Omole then speak with Dr. Lisa Richardson, a clinician-educator in the U of T's Division of General Internal Medicine, about other aspects of medical training that are due for a rethink.Dr. Richardson, who also practices at the University Health Network and is an Education Researcher at the Wilson Centre, argues that medical training needs to create space for learners to bring their whole selves to their educational experience, rather than struggle to conform to a narrower sense of what it means to be a physician.CMAJ is the journal of the Canadian Medical Association.

As we're seeing a flurry of visits from the Biden administration to Asia, we ask Michael Kugelman, Deputy Director of the Wilson Centre what do these trips signify. The Morning Run also asks him Biden's current strategy against China and whether Southeast Asian nations can maintain a balance in relations between the US and China. Image credit: Shutterstock.com

After nearly 20 years, the exit of US troops from Afghanistan is underway, scheduled to be completed by the end of August. While this is a move long in the making, questions remain over whether a lack of US forces will once again allow for the Taliban to seize control of the country, and if Afghanistan's economy can survive the removal of military spending. We speak to Michael Kugelman, Deputy Director of the Wilson Centre for some insight. Image Credit: Shutterstock.com

With China on the rise, how will America react? Chinese influence across the world is growing, in economic and political terms. This raises serious questions for the new Biden administration. The US and China are economically interdependent, and need to have shared interests, particularly in trade and climate change. But the rhetoric in recent weeks has been anything but friendly. The two superpowers are going head-to-head in trade wars, retaliatory sanctions, and accusations of human rights abuses. Katty and Carlos take a step back and look at what is at stake for both sides, and whether there is a chance for a future of peaceful coexistence. Katty and Carlos’ guests are: Kaiser Kuo, Editor-at-Large at SupChina, a media company that focuses on explaining China to the West. He’s also founder and co-host of the Sinica podcast, a show that discusses all things China. He spent 20 years working and living in Beijing and is now back home in the US. Robert Daly is the Director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States at the Wilson Centre. He’s a former diplomat who spent eleven years based in China where he worked on an array of cultural exchange programmes, including the translation of Sesame Street into Chinese.

What are the key aspects of how the European Green Deal will change the world? Introduced by the new European Commission in 2019, the Green Deal’s goal is to decouple economic growth from resource use and to create an EU economy with zero net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. To reach that goal a fundamental overhaul of the European economy is needed. But this transformation will also have a dramatic effect on external economic relations and on foreign policy. This week host Mark Leonard invited ECFR Council Member and Member of the German Bundestag for Alliance 90/The Greens Franziska Brantner as well as Jean Pisani Ferry and Simone Tagliapietra from the Brussels-based think-tank Bruegel to discuss the geopolitical repercussions of the European Green Deal.

Throughout their many years of training, medical students will learn everything they need to know to provide adequate medical care. This curriculum includes specialized medical knowledge and skills, but also encompasses all the specific behaviours we consider to be "professional". On this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Shiphra Ginsburg, a clinician-educator at the Wilson Centre for Research in Education. Dr. Ginsburg is a staff respirologist at Mount Sinai Hospital, and Director of both the Eliot Phillipson Clinician-Educator Training Program as well as Education Research and Scholarship in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. On this episode we explore what Dr. Ginsburg refers to as a series of "happy accidents" that led her to study the understanding and assessment of professionalism in medical learners. She subsequently completed her PhD in medical education and discusses how this process led her to focus on the language used by clinical supervisors to assess medical learners in the workplace. You'll also hear James and Eryn chat with one of Dr. Ginsburg's mentees, Dr. Lindsay Melvin, who discusses her work assessing the efficacy and role of podcasts and other technologies in medical education.

The US and North Korea have been flexing their military muscles in recent weeks, testing and deploying new missiles. President Trump has said North Korea is "a big big problem" that he will deal with "strongly". This week he took the extraordinary step of briefing the entire US Senate on American options to deal with the North's nuclear programme, as American troops conducted live-fire exercises near the North Korean border. Senators said the briefing was "sobering". Here, David Aaronovich gets his own briefing, from one of America's top former diplomats in the region and from experts in Beijing and Seoul.CONTRIBUTORS:Daniel Russel: President Obama's Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, now Diplomat-in-Residence at the Asia Society Policy InstituteYanmei Xie: Chinese foreign policy analyst, formerly with the International Crisis Group, now with Gavekal Dragonomics.Jenny Lee: Opened the first western news bureau in North Korea, now with the Wilson Centre in SeoulProducer: Neal Razzell Research: Sarah Shebbeare

Simon Roberts is a British photographer based in Brighton, on the south coast of England, whose work deals with our relationship to landscape and notions of identity and belonging. Often employing expansive, large-format landscape photographs, his approach is one of creating wide-ranging surveys of our time, which communicate on important social, economic and political issues. Simon is perhaps best known for his major long-term project We English, for which he undertook a 9 month road trip around England in a camper van, accompanied by his pregnant wife and 2 year old daughter. The resulting work has been exhibited widely, touring to over thirty national and international venues and was published as a book by Chris Boot and voted by Martin Parr as one of the best photography books of the past decade. He’s had solo shows at the National Media Museum, Bradford, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, and Multimedia Art Museum Moscow. His photographs reside in major public and private collections, including the George Eastman House, Deutsche Börse Art Collection and Wilson Centre for Photography. In recognition for his work, Roberts has received several awards including the Vic Odden Award - offered for a notable achievement in the art of photography by a British photographer, along with bursaries from the National Media Museum, John Kobal Foundation and grants from Arts Council England. He was commissioned as the official Election Artist by the House of Commons Works of Art Committee to produce a record of the 2010 General Election on behalf of the UK Parliament. In 2012 he was granted access by the International Olympic Committee to photograph the London Olympics and most recently was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, UK (2013). As well as We English has published two other critically acclaimed monographs, Motherland (Chris Boot, 2007) and Pierdom (Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2013).
