Canadian Intelligence Eh! Episode 138 – How to monitor multiple terrorist groups at once
Terrorism threats ebb and flow. Different movements – and different individuals – rise to cause a lot of havoc and sometimes (eventually? Great question!) go away. But what if they don’t? Do threats ever disappear entirely? How do we manage and thwart terrorist threats from multiple sources at the same time. Borealis re-engages legendary US terrorism scholar Bruce Hoffman on these and other issues.

Canadian Intelligence Eh
In a world of multiple voices and opinions it can be very hard to know where to turn. One choice is to look to those who actually worked in counter-terrorism in the national security world. In these half-hour podcasts, 30-year Canadian intelligence veteran Phil Gurski is joined by a fascinating array of individuals with something meaningful to say about these issues as they provide insight into what they mean and what we need to do about them.
