Today we look at why civil society leaders in promoting transparency are against a foreign influence transparency registry as well as the potential threat it poses to fundamental Charter rights of all Canadians. And more on Ukraine and Israel-Palestine.
Today we consider an innovative Canadian analysis for defining “victory” in Ukraine and we call for urgent action in support of justice for Hassan Diab, after his long Kafkaesque ordeal at the hands of the French justice system.
We examine a new Ukraine peace plan direct from the American mainstream, consider impressive steps by Australia to hold its military accountable and outline what Canada can do to help Israel change direction before it is too late.

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.
We examine some key lessons from the Ukraine conflict and ask whether leaders are heeding them. And we look at the need to balance national security concerns with academic freedom and vital scientific collaboration.
