Is Canada's Spy Agency Illegally Spying On Canadians? w/ Tamara Lorincz

Tamara Lorincz is a PhD candidate in Global Governance at the Balsillie School for International Affairs (Wilfrid Laurier University). Tamara graduated with an MA in International Politics & Security Studies from the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom in 2015. She was awarded the Rotary International World Peace Fellowship and was a senior researcher for the International Peace Bureau in Switzerland.

Her research interests are the military’s impacts on the environment and climate change, the intersection of security and peace, gender and international relations, Canadian defence and foreign policy, feminist foreign policy, disarmament, resistance to NATO, and military sexual violence.

Recently, Tamara had a run in with Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) when returning from a peace conference in Russia. I sat down with her to discuss this on going climate of Russian paranoia and how U.S and NATO backed organizations are operating from with in Canada to push a certain kind of narrative about the on going conflict in Ukraine.
