Sovereignty at Stake: Online Disinformation and Canadian Democracy

Join the Catalyst for a lively discussion providing a critical, high-stakes briefing from the front lines of the information war. This evening event is designed to move beyond alarmism toward action. Together, we will bridge the gap between understanding the threat and deploying a robust national defence.

​The event will feature a keynote from the Honourable Jason Kenney and a high-stakes discussion from experts on the front lines of the information war, bridging the gap between understanding the threat and strengthening Canada’s response. We’re honoured to welcome Mr. Kenney, who has served 25 years in public office, including as a senior minister under Stephen Harper, leading key portfolios such as National Defence, Citizenship and Immigration, and Employment and Social Development.

​ Leading experts Marcus Kolga, Dr. Jennie Phillips, and Dr. Brian McQuinn will offer a clear-eyed look at the risks to our democratic institutions and what we can do to push back.

Why You Should Attend
The integrity of the Canadian information ecosystem cannot be left to chance. To protect our interests, we must adopt an all-of-society approach that unites the private and public sectors and government leadership.

Refreshments and appetizers will be served following the program.

Registration is required to attend.
