Everywhere you look these days terrorism and violent extremism dominate the headlines. Whether you follow what is happening in Afghanistan or Iraq, or in the West writ large, we are inundated with news of attacks by groups and individuals fighting for a 'cause'.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 counterterrorism 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.

Another day another foiled attack. The RCMP arrested a Pakistani national on September 4th near the Quebec-US border as he was on his way to New York City to carry out an attack on Jewish targets in the name of ISIS. This follows a similar arrest of a father-son duo in Toronto who wanted to do something similar, but in Canada. The Pakistani man was here on a 'student visa'; the father in the other case arrived in Canada and claimed refugee status, eventually getting citizenship, despite having been seen in an ISIS video dismembering someone. It appears that our immigration system is broken and yet the government pretends that all is well. WTF?
