Once again, Leah, Jess and Mike sit down for Part II of catching up on a busy summer of national security criminal cases. They look at: the ongoing case against Cameron Ortis; a guilty plea in a terrorism case out of Kingston (did we ever figure out what that RCMP plane was doing?); and an update in the Via Rail case where the conviction of one of the accused has been successfully appealed. Finally, the gang reflects on what the events of the summer indicate about ongoing violent extremism trends in

After the inevitable “beginning of the academic year” pause, Season 4 of INTREPID continues. In this episode, Leah West, Jess Davies and Mike Nesbitt begin to go through a busy summer’s worth of national security cases.

In just a few years the QAnon movement has gone from a fringe online conspiracy theory to a movement that is now present in up to 54 countries worldwide. Given its links to several attempted attacks, there is growing concern that QAnon may be inspiring some individuals to mobilize to violence. But is QAnon really a national security threat? If so, what should be done about it? To find out more, Jessica Davis sits down with Amarnath Amarsingam and Marc-André Argentino to discuss their recent CTC

We’re back with an episode focusing on a recent development: the Federal Court’s holding that the “safe third country” refugee agreement with the United States is unconstitutional. In fact, it violates section 7 of the Charter — the very right we explored on Chapter 4 of our Muskoka Chair Chats in Ep 129. (Listeners may want to listen to that explainer first).

We’re back with Carissima Mathen in our “Muskoka Chair Charts,” our summer series on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Today’s topic is section 7 of the Charter, a major right with huge implications in national security space and elsewhere. We walk through when section 7 is “triggered” — the concepts of life, liberty, or security of the person — and then the accompanying concept of “fundamental justice”. Section 7 reads: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the

On 16 July the Federal Court released a long rumoured decision on CSIS operations. While many of the legal issues raised in the case have been resolved as a result of Bill C-59, the decision noted a number of other issues that raise questions about relations between the Service, the Federal Court and the Department of Justice. The Intrepid Gang discuss what happened and why, why CSIS officers need some kind of immunity (and bemoan that it took so long to get it), the duty of candour and some
