Does Canada's lack of an "Intelligence Culture" put us at risk?: Alexander Dalziel and Michelle Tessier

Does Canada's lack of an "Intelligence Culture" put us at risk?: Alexander Dalziel and Michelle Tessier

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, the flagship podcast of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

In this episode, Senior Fellow Alexander Dalziel explores intelligence in Canadian policy-making with Michelle Tessier, a former Deputy Director of Operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). The discussion highlights challenges in developing an "intelligence culture," integrating intelligence into decision-making, and intelligence sharing outside the federal government.

They explore the differences between intelligence and evidence, the importance of the feedback loop between intelligence agencies and policymakers, and the evolution of CSIS's outreach and transparency efforts.

Tessier also shares her insights on the challenges of building trust and understanding around intelligence work, as well as the potential benefits of leveraging new technologies to enhance intelligence capabilities.
