Ep 118 What even is 5G anyway?

A Podcast Called INTREPID ·

2020/02/21

There has been a lot of discussion in the media about 5G, but not a lot of information on what 5G actually is and how it is different from what has come before. Stephanie sits down with Ericsson’s VP, Chief Technology Officer, David Everingham who breaks it all down – even though Stephanie keeps trying to switch the analogies all back to cake. A useful episode for those looking for a bit of tech-support in trying to think through the challenging policy issues.

A Podcast Called INTREPID ·

2020/02/13

Using the magic of the internet once again, Stephanie sits down with Leah and Mike to discuss developments in two terrorism cases: Peshdary and Ali. In the former, Leah talks to Peshdary’s legal team to work through what a “Wilson Application” is and why a defence team might use it in a national security case. Turning to Ali, Mike discusses the findings of the Court and asks when is a terrorist group not a group? Our terrorism legislation is not making anything easy…

Ep 116 Counting Hate

A Podcast Called INTREPID ·

2020/02/01

The fact that crimes committed by individuals appearing to be motivated by some ideologies (such as far right extremism) are considered as “hate crimes” and not “terrorist offences” has been a frequent theme of Intrepid Podcast. In this week’s episode, recorded on the second anniversary of the Quebec Mosque Shooting, Stephanie sits down (over the internet) with Michael Nesbitt who has done some work to actually put some numbers to this phenomenon. Why is it that 53/54 terrorism offenses were

2020/01/20

There has been a lot written and said about the US-Iran conflict in Iraq earlier this month. At INTREPID, we waited for (a little bit) of the dust to settle and dedicated this podcast to walking through the international legal issues. We talk jus ad bellum (right to use force) and jus in bello (the law of armed conflict) in relation to military clashes between 27 December and 8 January, including the downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight 752. We also discuss some of the threats made by US

A Podcast Called INTREPID ·

2020/01/17

With news that the Sussexes may be leaving the UK for Canada, Stephanie is FINALLY interested in Crown issues but Craig is not (we call it Craigxit). Nevertheless, Phil walks through Prince Harry’s status/non-status in Canada and, using recent reports about former Governor Generals in the news, describes what his powers would be. (To be clear though, unlike Stephanie, Phil is not a fan of this idea and he explains why.) Listeners, please excuse the couple of “booms” on the podcast – Phil tends to

2020/01/09

There is a lot going on in the world right now. But Stephanie and Craig wanted to catch up first with a development just before the holidays: The Supreme Court’s decision in Vavilov. This case is famous (in the narrow circles Craig lives in) for what it has done to “administrative law”. It is also famous for concerning the children of two Russian “illegals” — that is, Russian sleeper agents who fraudulently assumed Canadian citizenship — and the question of whether the children themselves are

2019/12/21

Well, tear yourself away from Alan Maitland’s reading of “The Shepherd”, because it’s time for the second annual INTREPID Christmas special, an event literally no one was waiting for. This time, it’s armed conflict at the top of the world, as Santa Claus (ruler of Christmastown) squares off against Boss Elf (the leader of the Island of Misfit Toys dictatorship). Everything goes wrong, until the Christmas Magic arrives.

Jessica Davis and Michael Nesbitt sit down with Stephanie to discuss sanctions in light of a new case in Nova Scotia. Nader Kalai is the first person to be charged with violating Canadian and European Union sanctions on Syria. The gang takes the time to remind viewers what sanctions are and what the Canadian regime looks like (it’s been a while – the last time was Episode 5!) Does this charge mean the Public Prosecution Service of Canada is starting to take a more ambitious approach to prosecuting

2019/11/26

For those who love weedy public law issues, Stephanie, Philippe and Craig finally steer back to the national security preoccupation of INTREPID, in this latest HMIROP chapter. Specifically, they mix it up (fight) over the scope of the royal prerogative over defence in Canadian law. In exchanging blows, they basically cover two issues: what is the constitutional status of the prerogative; and, whether there is any virtue in putting some matters covered by the prerogative on a statutory footing.

2019/11/22

This episode the Intrepid Gang takes on four important national security trials that have been in the news and have important implications for national security law. First, we talk about the decision to revoke bail in the Ortis case and what this may say about where the trial is going. Next, it seems to be that a bifurcated system for evidence in the Huang case is causing endless delays – are the courts trying to find new solutions? Third, a guilty verdict was returned in the Sharif trial –

In this episode, we focus on the Constitution Act 1982 and its headline components, especially the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, “aboriginal” rights, and how the constitution can be amended through amendment formulas.

Ep 106 Continuity or Change in the Middle East?

A Podcast Called INTREPID ·

2019/11/07

Recent weeks have seen dramatic changes in the Middle East – Trump’s withdrawal from Syria, the killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the return of mass popular protests in the region. Oh, and Iran just announced it will restart 1000 centrifuges in the latest blow to the nuclear agreement. To make sense of it all, Stephanie sat down (using the magic of the internet) to speak with Intrepid Podcast Editors Amarnath Amarasingam and Thomas Juneau about these developments and what we

The moment you have been waiting for! Stephanie, Craig and Philippe Lagassé are back for the next chapter in Canada’s rollicking constitutional history. In this chapter, we cover events from 1867 to 1982: imperial conferences, controversies and, not to be missed, the Colonial Laws Validity Act and the Statute of Westminster Act. A sideways dash through the King-Byng affair. And then a fast forward through to the Patriation Controversy of the early 1980s. Stephanie required adrenaline shots, but got

Stephanie sits down with Intrepid Podcast Editors Jessica and Leah to discuss national security issues in the 2019 Federal Party Platforms. Intrepid podcast is strictly a non-partisan affair so policies are treated as ideas to be evaluated for effectiveness and feasibility. They discuss plans for CBSA, review and oversight, cyber-security, counter-terrorism and sanctions. But the only political message they have for our audience is to VOTE!(Stephanie is still learning the editing ropes so
