Articles
In April, we explored why money laundering matters more than most Canadians realize and how it impacts both our safety and economy. We examined how Al-Shabaab maintains a surplus despite extensive expenses and continues to rely on more traditional methods for moving money, even as other groups turn toward cryptocurrency. We also looked at ISIL-KP, a group once thought to be struggling financially, but now demonstrating renewed strength and expanding its reach.
Our Insight Monitor Dispatch covered two standout Secure Line podcast episodes - one featured a deep dive on Canadian defence with Phillip Legassé, and another where Leah, Steph, and Jess broke down the rumours, threats, and political noise shaping the intel landscape.
