💡 READ: For the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations (CORIM), IPD's Andrew Latham argues that "Canada must exercise strategic restraint given its limited resources. Rather than extending its defense ties broadly across the Indo-Pacific region, Canada should concentrate on areas where it can make a substantial impact." 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJamQMHf #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #grandstrategy #china #indopacific #asiapacific

💬 ICYMI: Amid a diplomatic crisis with #India, IPD's Zachary Paikin writes that Ottawa's mismanaged approach to wedding diaspora politics and foreign policy has "left #Canada with an Indo-Pacific strategy that already comes across as a dead letter" and "an incoherent Middle East policy that has poured gas on the flames of domestic disorder." 👉 https://lnkd.in/g79f7E-Z #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #cdnfp #cdnpoli

Assessing the Consequences of Reduced Counterterrorism Efforts: Implications of Increased Operational Freedom for Terrorist Groups An hour-long extensive and in-depth interview with the ICD Domain GenAI by IntelCenter CEO Ben Venzke. Areas Covered • Consequences of reduced counterterrorism efforts • Terrorist group recognition West no longer engaged • Challenges to rolling back terrorist gains after major attack • Can law enforcement do it alone • How to prevent 9/11-scale event if no further resources • Counterterrorism lessons of 9/11 forgotten • Countering fatigue & is threat less because we moved on • If fatigue & resources not addressed, will there be another 9/11 • If you can’t truly win against terrorism, should you stop trying • If the West stops fighting terrorism, will they stop attacking • Most likely scenarios for terrorists looking to surpass 9/11 attack • Terrorist desire to conduct attacks that kill thousands • No large-scale attack does not equal no capability • Chance of finding proper counterterrorism resource balance • Chance of 9/11-scale or greater attack occurring within next 10 years In this conversation, we explore the potential consequences of the West's reduced counterterrorism efforts and the increased operational freedom of terrorist groups like the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Based on extensive historical data and statements from these groups, it is clear that if they continue to operate with greater freedom in regions such as Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, there will be significant negative repercussions. These include the consolidation of territorial control, heightened recruitment and radicalization, increased transnational attacks, and severe regional instability. The conversation highlights the need for a comprehensive, adaptive, and sustained counterterrorism strategy that leverages intelligence, military, and law enforcement resources, despite the challenges posed by resource constraints and shifting geopolitical priorities.

𝐎𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐰𝐚 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐲 01 May 2023, Ottawa Canada - Pacific delegates are leaving Ottawa Canada exhausted but reasonably satisfied with an advanced draft text of an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. They are also acutely aware that the road to the next Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee meeting (INC-5) is not going to be easy with the Committee agreeing to intersessional work in the lead up to Busan, Korea, at the end of the year. On the last day of the fourth session of the INC (INC-4) at the Shaw Centre on Monday, Pacific negotiators joined delegates from around the world as they worked into the early hours of Tuesday to agree to an advanced draft of a text aimed to tackle the scourge of plastic pollution. The advanced draft text is amongst the key decisions made at INC-4, with members also opting to create an Open-ended Legal Drafting Group as an advisory group to review elements of the text. The strong Pacific presence in the Canada Hall applauded the outcome gavelled by the Chair of the INC, Ambassador Luis Vayas, just after 3am. “We are truly grateful for your leadership and firm direction in advancing INC-4 to where we are. We understand that this week has been tough, particularly with the varying levels of progress across the different subgroups; but through it all, you and your team have carefully balanced the interests of all members,” H.E Ambassador Odo Tevi, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Vanuatu to the United Nations, and the Chair of the Pacific Small Islands Developing States (PSIDS) told the plenary.

The federal government has introduced new rules to stop the misuse of social media (Instagram, Meta and LinkedIn) by government employees. This decision was made due to rising concerns that civil servants’ online activities could harm national security and public trust. The Cabinet Secretariat has issued these guidelines, which set clear rules for how government employees should behave on social media. It also includes instructions on how to enforce these rules effectively. Under the new SOPs, government employees are banned from sharing political views on social media. They are also required to get permission before appearing on any media platform. #SocialMedia #Employee #Guidelines #PublicTrust #Safe #OnlineUse #NewSOPs #DigitalPolicy #Responsible #Cohortmax
