Articles
In February, we explored key developments in global security, financial crime, and counterterrorism. We examined money laundering and fentanyl production in Canada, revealing how criminal entities exploit regulatory gaps. Our deep dive into academic research on terrorist financing via cryptocurrency highlighted the evolving risks of illicit digital transactions, while a detailed group profile of ISIL Sinai assessed the effectiveness of counter-terrorism efforts. We also investigated how Trump-era tariffs are reshaping corporate ownership in Canada, offering tools to navigate opaque business structures.
Our weekly Insight Monitor Dispatches provided critical updates on foreign interference, international sanctions, and illicit financial networks. These insights, alongside our research into terrorist financing—including a New Orleans truck attack financial breakdown—shed light on emerging threats and shifting global dynamics.

Jessica I’m confused why politicians like Pierre Poilievre and Trump can run or even be a president, we seem so unprotected
I’ve never felt safe under these reformed conservatives in Canada. I worked so hard and SaskParty literally broke me, my bank account, my paid off home and govt pension is gone? I moved to Regina but would love to find someone to look over my files how SaskParty could break me.
I didn’t know that politicians could get away with so much. No media would take my story. I worked hard and lost it all, was bullied and nearly took my life. They exhausted me, I had no where to go or talk to. Do you think a university could help me? When we women asked to see Brad Wall or other SaskParty members we were denied access. I had two lawyers who looked into it for me for free and what they got was SaskParty didn’t need my vote. I can’t believe they can do this to people
