| 12/16/25 | ![]() Bylines & Frontlines Episode 5: CRSV - Prevention and Protection | 📌 Content note: This episode discusses sexual violence and atrocities. Listener discretion is advised. Recorded during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, this episode of Bylines & Frontlines confronts one of the most pervasive yet under-addressed crimes of modern conflict: conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). CRSV is not incidental. It is not inevitable. And it is not a by-product of chaos. As our guests make clear, sexual violence is planned, enabled, and weaponized—used deliberately to terrorize populations, fracture communities, clear territory, discipline armed groups, and, in some cases, advance genocidal intent. In this episode, we explore: CRSV as a tactic and weapon How sexual violence functions as a low-cost, high-impact weapon targeting the human and moral terrain of societies—from Tigray to Ukraine and beyond. Early warning signs and patterns Why mass sexual violence is rarely spontaneous, how it can be detected early, and why failure to act is often a matter of political and operational choice—not lack of information. The military’s role and responsibility From armed forces as first responders, to force protection, to the hard truth of preventing perpetration within one’s own ranks—this conversation examines command responsibility, accountability, and prevention. Children born of war A population rendered invisible by stigma, silence, and policy gaps. We discuss who these children are, why they remain excluded from reparations frameworks, and what governments and international institutions owe them. Survivors, justice, and recognition Including emerging efforts—such as survivor-informed reparations models—that challenge the historical failure to acknowledge sexual violence as a core international crime. Featuring: Emily Prey — Director of the Mass Atrocities & International Law Portfolio and the Gender Policy Portfolio at the New Lines Institute Lieutenant Colonel Melanie Lake, MSM, CD — Canadian Armed Forces; former Commander, Operation UNIFIER; NATO gender leadership expert Commander Tyson Nicholas, RAN — Strategic Military Advisor, UN Women Hosted by: Riel Erickson | — | ||||||
| 12/10/25 | ![]() Épisode 59: Mathieu Luinaud, consultant en stratégie et expert du secteur spatial | Pour ce nouvel épisode de Conseils de sécurité, Aubin Gonzalez Lapos et Sarah-Myriam Martin-Brûlé reçoivent Mathieu Luinaud, consultant en stratégie et expert du secteur spatial. Membre de l’International Institute of Space Law et chercheur associé à la chaire SIRIUS de l’Université Toulouse-1 Capitole, il enseigne aussi l’économie publique et les politiques technologiques à Sciences Po, et est élu de la ville de Paris.

Avec lui, nous explorons la place croissante du spatial dans notre quotidien et dans nos sécurités collectives : *comment l’espace recompose les rapports de puissance et la souveraineté technologique ; *quelles synergies émergent entre les politiques spatiales du Canada, de la France et de l’Australie ; *comment concilier innovation privée et exigences de sécurité nationale ; *et quels leviers permettraient à l’Europe et au Canada de rester compétitifs dans un secteur dominé par les écosystèmes américain et asiatique. Nous abordons aussi le rôle du spatial dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques, la diplomatie environnementale, et les défis majeurs de gouvernance face au risque d’un « Far West » orbital. Enfin, nous discutons de l’avenir du spatial : un champ de rivalité stratégique ou un laboratoire d’interdépendance et d’innovation partagée ? Un épisode qui explore pourquoi l’espace est devenu un enjeu central de sécurité internationale. | — | ||||||

| 11/12/25 | ![]() Épisode 58: Paul Charon, directeur du domaine Influence et Renseignement de l’IRSEM | Dans cet épisode, Sarah-Myriam Marti-Brûlé et Aubin Gonzalez Lapos reçoivent Paul Charon, directeur du domaine Influence et Renseignement de l’IRSEM. L’entretien aborde la structuration du champ « renseignement, anticipation et stratégies d’influence » , le rôle croissant de la guerre cognitive, et les défis qu’elle pose aux démocraties.

| 11/5/25 | ![]() Episode 4.4: Defence Spending Strategies with Canada's Naval Commander Angus Topshee | Welcome to a new episode of Battle Rhythm, with co-host Anessa L. Kimball, Ph.D., Professor at Université Laval; Steve Saideman and Anessa discuss defense spending eagerness in Ottawa and beyond along with Canada and ASEAN and two apologies, one from Prime Minister Mark Carney and another from the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Jennie Carignan on behalf of the Canadian Armed Forces for Racial Discrimination and Racial Harassment of current and past current and former CAF members. In today’s Feature Interview, Steve discusses Navy procurement and recruitment strategies with Canada’s Naval Commander. Vice-Admiral (VAdm) Angus Topshee is the 38th Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). His diverse academic background includes military and civilian institutions on three continents. He has deployed in ships around the world and has accumulated countless sea stories involving pirates, sharks, terrorists, volcanoes, whales, fires, and all the other things which make life at sea a true adventure. The highlight of his time at sea was his far too brief command of Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Algonquin in 2009-2010 and, a close second, his three years in command of Canada’s Pacific Fleet. His shore postings include two tours in the Navy’s Strategy directorate as penance for all of his sea time, three years in command of Canadian Forces Base Halifax, and two years as the Deputy Director, Strategy, Policy, and Plans at NORAD and United States Northern Command Headquarters in Colorado Springs. He also deployed to Afghanistan for all of 2011 as the director of Afghan National Police Training within the NATO Training Mission Afghanistan. Over the course of his career, he has somehow been involved in Arctic issues at every one of his shore postings (except Afghanistan). Before taking command of the RCN in May 2022, VAdm Topshee had the honour and the pleasure of commanding Maritime Forces Pacific and Joint Task Force Pacific, located in Esquimalt, B.C. VAdm Topshee’s career is enabled by his fantastically supportive wife, Audrey, and four tremendous daughters, Amy, Zoë, Charlotte, and Iris. | — | ||||||
| 10/29/25 | ![]() Bylines & Frontlines Episode 4: Bylines & Frontlines: 25 Years of UNSCR 1325: Feminist Resilience and the Future of WPS | This special anniversary episode of Bylines & Frontlines, the podcast of Women in International Security – Canada (WIIS-Canada), marks a quarter century since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) — a landmark moment that changed how the world understands conflict, peacebuilding, and women’s leadership. Hosts Dr. Stéfanie von Hlatky and Dr. Vanessa Brown are joined by two remarkable guests: Jaqueline O’Neill, Canada’s first and now former Ambassador for Women, Peace and Security, and Leona Ahn, Canadian Armed Forces officer, law student, and former Vice Chair of WIIS Canada. Together, they reflect on what this milestone means — personally and politically — and what it takes to keep advancing an agenda that faces both momentum and mounting resistance. From “ships passing in the night” in post-conflict Sudan to “feminist resilience” in moments of backlash, their stories bring the WPS agenda to life through lived experience, policy innovation, and leadership in action. The conversation explores: What real change looks like when policies translate into safety and opportunity for women and marginalized groups; How inclusion, leadership, and accountability intersect across defense, diplomacy, and law; The importance of networks — local and global — in sustaining courage and community; and Why the next phase of WPS must embrace intersectionality, dignity, and systemic change. This episode captures both urgency and hope — a reminder that the WPS agenda was never just about representation, but about transforming the way power, peace, and security are understood and practiced. | — | ||||||
| 10/29/25 | ![]() Épisode 57: Alexis Rougier, général de brigade aérienne en charge de la Très Haute Altitude (THA) à l’état-major de l’Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace | Dans cet épisode de Conseils de sécurité, Aubin Gonzalez Lapos et Sarah-Myriam Martin-Brûlé reçoivent le général Alexis Rougier, général de brigade aérienne en charge de la Très Haute Altitude (THA) à l’état-major de l’Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace. Fort d’un parcours marqué par le commandement opérationnel et l’innovation stratégique, le général Rougier revient sur la transformation profonde des armées face à l’émergence du continuum air–espace, à l’évolution des menaces technologiques et à la redéfinition de la supériorité aérienne. L’entretien explore les enjeux de souveraineté, de sécurité et de résilience dans un environnement où les domaines terrestre, maritime, aérien, cyber et spatial sont désormais étroitement interconnectés. Le général partage également sa vision des coopérations internationales, notamment entre la France et le Canada, qui renforcent leurs liens dans les domaines de la défense aérienne, de la surveillance spatiale et de l’innovation duale. Entre intelligence artificielle, hypervélocité, robotique et guerre électronique, cet épisode questionne la manière dont les armées peuvent préserver un avantage stratégique durable tout en maintenant un ancrage humain, éthique et décisionnel au cœur du commandement militaire. | — | ||||||
| 10/22/25 | ![]() Episode 4.3: Radical Pragmatism with Dr. Jessica F. Green | Welcome to spooky season and to a new season of Battle Rhythm, with co-hosts Dr. Wendy H. Wong (Professor of Political Science and Principal’s Research Chair at the University of British Columbia) and Steve Saideman. Steve shares insights from the German-Norweigan consortium to supply submarines to Canada and he and Wendy discuss the defence diplomacy involved along with protesting and what it means for democracy. In today’s feature interview, Wendy interviews Dr. Jessica F. Green, they discuss her book Existential Politics and her research focused on global governance, the politics of decarbonization, carbon pricing, and non-state actors. Jessica Green is a professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto. She is also cross-appointed in the School of Environment. She has previously held positions at Case Western University (in Cleveland, OH) and New York University (in NYC). Her newly released book, Existential Politics, explains why the Paris Agreement is Failing. Governments have misdiagnosed the political problem of climate change, focusing relentlessly on measuring, reporting, and trading emissions. This technical approach of “managing tons” ignores the ways that climate change and climate policy will revalue assets, creating winners and losers. Policies such as net zero, carbon pricing, and offsets all cater to the losers—owners of fossil assets. But in reality, climate change is a political problem, not a technical one. Climate politics should be understood as existential—creating conflicts that arise when some actors face the prospect of the devaluation or elimination of their assets or competition from the creation of new ones. Fossil asset owners, such as oil and gas companies and electric utilities, stand to lose trillions in the energy transition. Thus, they are fighting to slow decarbonization and preserve the value of their assets. Green asset owners, who will be the basis of the decarbonized economy, are fewer in number and relatively weak politically. Governments should use international tax, finance, and trade institutions to create new green asset owners and constrain fossil asset owners. https://www.greenprofgreen.com/about Join us in Ottawa on November 13th at 6pm at the Lord Elgin Hotel, where Dr. Green will hold a public launch of her book and discussion about her research. | — | ||||||
