Description

The inaugural episode of Secure Line, a podcast hosted by Jessica Davis, Leah West, and Stephanie Carvin, explores the implications of Donald Trump’s return to office as the 47th President of the United States and its impact on Canadian security and intelligence. The discussion focuses on how Trump's policies, including proposed tariffs on Canadian goods and suggestions about Canada becoming the 51st state, might challenge Canada's national security and economic stability. With guests Thomas Juneau and Justin Ling, the hosts discuss challenges facing Canada, including potential emboldening of extremist groups, reduced intelligence cooperation, and shifting U.S. foreign policies. The hosts and guests discuss Canada's reliance on U.S. intelligence, the need for a coherent foreign policy, and the strain on domestic institutions like the RCMP and defense. They highlight the urgency for Canada to prioritize its security and defense strategy amidst increasing geopolitical instability and potential trade tensions with the U.S.
