We turn again to Wesley Wark – this time for his take on the just announced public inquiry into foreign interference; we assess recent Ukraine developments that make a diplomatic strategy more urgent than ever and we consider a new Crisis Group report on sanctions reform and peacemaking.

Today we examine new opportunities for peace in Ukraine with President Zelensky’s positive response to China’s peace plan, consider heightened risks from using Artificial Intelligence in nuclear command systems and much more.
Today we examine why a prudent approach to the nuclear risks in Ukraine must include support for diplomacy and we consider how to equip Canada’s foreign service with the tools it needs for today’s monumental global challenges.
This terrible conflict is wreaking havoc in Ukraine and on the global economy. We examine the prospects for a peace deal and what Canada can do to help Ukraine achieve it.
