SUMMARY:Defending democracies from disinformation: A new imperative for Canada-Japan strategic cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Canada has begun placing greater emphasis on security in the Indo-Pacific\, including greater recognition of the threat posed by China. Chinese influence operations and possible disinformation campaigns are increasingly viewed with concern. Although perhaps a less serious problem than faced by countries like the US or Taiwan\, Canada remains vulnerable to such foreign disinformation efforts. \nInternational cooperation is needed to fight against foreign disinformation. Canada has shown its willingness to cooperate with key allies\, including G7 countries and its partners in the Indo-Pacific\, to combat the spread of disinformation. Japan\, which is Canada’s only G7 partner in the Indo-Pacific\, will be hosting a G7 summit under its presidency in Hiroshima in 2023. As such\, Canada-Japan cooperation against disinformation could be further increased between the two countries. \nThe Macdonald-Laurier Institute\, with the support of the Japan Foundation Toronto and in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan\, will convene a group of experts to examine the current state of disinformation threats and countermeasures/ practices in Canada and Japan. The panel will also discuss the potential for Canada-Japan cooperation in fighting against potential disinformation campaigns. \n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday\, February 2\, 2023\nTime: 8:00 am – 9:30 am ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n \n\n\nRegister for this webinar below. \n

SUMMARY:New tools or new competitors? The future of competition law in Canada
DESCRIPTION:The rise of the digital economy has opened up an important debate: Does Canadian competition policy need a fundamental overhaul or simply updating at the margins? Are new regulatory tools required – or should we look to an untapped source of additional competition from outside our borders? \nJoin us as our panel of experts debates the best path forward for Canadian competition policy. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday\, February 9\, 2023\nTime: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar.

SUMMARY:Holding the Kremlin to account: A special international tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:On January 19th\, the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in support of creating an international tribunal to hold the Russian government to account for its invasion of Ukraine and the government of Belarus for supporting Russia’s aggression. Canada and its Baltic allies are among the leading global supporters of Ukraine’s freedom and sovereignty. \nThe Macdonald-Laurier Institute\, in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in Ottawa\, and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre For Human Rights will host this international discussion to focus on the need to hold the Russian government to account for its actions and how Ukraine\, Canada and its Baltic allies can forge a path towards justice and accountability. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Friday\, February 10\, 2023\nTime: 9:00 am – 10:00 am ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar.
