Canadian Global Affairs Institute (CGAI)

Recorded 18 February, 2025

As an invited guest to "The Global Exchange" podcast, Andrew Welch addresses the prestigious Canadian Global Affairs Institute on an unexpected topic (for him): Canadian national security.

This topic comes at an interesting time, when the U.S. President is on the verge of declaring economic war on Canada, while the pressing threats of global warming, disinformation, and Artifical Intelligence misuse continue to loom overhead.  Andrew connects the dots for all of these threats, and presents a case for how the single underlying value crisis might be actually be addressable by government policy.

His contribution to this hour-long podcast begins at 21:42.
