First thoughts on the new CDS saideman.blogspot.com/2024/06/new-... I don't think she is being set up to fail, but she will have a very tough job. #CaMilSky #cdndef
Last week, we had a great edited volume workshop on Canadian Civil-Military Relations saideman.blogspot.com/2024/06/work... #cdndef #cdnpoli #CAMilSky
Great day of Canadian civ-mil conversations as we held the first day of a two day edited volume workshop. Sharp papers addressing important challenges. Nice mix of folks with academic and policy and military backgrounds! #cdndef
Latest Battle Rhythm episode has me and @profwhw.bsky.social talking about ICC warrants for Hamas/Israeli leaders, CSIS's tiktok warning, and then Wendy interviews Abraham Newman about his book with @himself.bsky.social Underground Empire soundcloud.com/cdsnpodcasts... #CDSN #cdndef #cdnpoli
One of the things in Charlotte's summary and in the report--SMSRC is underfunded. Yes, much of the military is facing a funding problem, but given both the impact of these scandals (see our paper) and the recruitment/retention crisis, funding should not be a problem here. #cdndef
It is still opportunity season at the CDSN. Deadlines for our Book Workshop, our Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship, and our Summer Institute are all nearing. Don't be intimidated--apply!!!

And to paraphrase Phil, the process was transparent AF.
Lessons have been learned, such as having an independent panel make sure military isn't gaming things. If parliament does not think its job is oversight and neither does DND, then, yes, adding oversight boards make sense #cdnpoli #cdndef 3/x
Apparently, folks are revisting the F35 decision. Phil was on the independent panel so his take here is needed philippelagasse.substack.com while I was an f35 skeptic at first, the fact that it won pretty much every competition around the world told me a lot. 1/2 #cdnpoli #cdndef
Yes, I did an interview for Canadian news from the beer garden at Potsdammerplatz! www.cbc.ca/player/play/... One minute into the video #cdndef
The latest #BattleRhythm soundcloud.com/cdsnpodcasts... yes, my quest for life altering strudel continues, but i also talked with Linna Tam-Seto about veterans facing job challenges and I interviewed our CDSN post-doc Ryan Atkinson #cdndef
I woke up cranky last night (I am old and I ate too much), so I responded quickly to a @plagasse.bsky.social piece on Canadian defence spending. I am digging in on my arctic skeptic hill--the threats are elsewhere: saideman.blogspot.com/2024/03/cran... #cdndef #cdnpoli CAMilSky

Everything is awesome when you are part of a team. And this weekend's Meeting of the MINDS event emphasized that. Not only great teamwork within each DND-MINDS funded network but between them and between MINDS and us saideman.blogspot.com/2023/10/meet... youtu.be/9cQgQIMlwWw... CaMilSky #cdndef
Some great real talk on Canada's naval ship building economics and politics by @plagasse.bsky.social www.readtheline.ca/p/philippe-l... #cdnpoli #cdndef CaMilSky
Going through one last round of edits before submitting the Steve/Dave/Phil book on legislatures and the armed forces for review, and I have to just stop and love Phil's description of the Canadian parliament's role: "anemic."
Probably too generous.
