"The US is interfering with public debate in Greenland. Canada could be next." @marcuskolga.bsky.social (founder of CDMRN partner @disinfowatch.bsky.social) reports for @theglobeandmail.com 🧵

The U.S. is interfering with public debate in Greenland. Canada could be next The same toolkit of provocation, disinformation and grievance amplification could be deployed here just as easily

Greenland & Denmark were allegedly targeted by a covert US administration influence operation to incite conflict between them. Canadians should not assume we’re safe from similar efforts aimed at fracturing our own cohesion. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/a2e82d8...

It’s One Thing to Promise Ukraine Security. It’s Quite Another to Deliver.

To be clear - there is no way that Putin accepts these “security guarantees”. We are diddling when we should be providing massive support to Ukraine.

RT published a staged video of a Russian-captured US APC flying both US & Russian flags, falsely implying US-Russia unity against Ukraine.
The aim: mock Washington & erode support for Kyiv. disinfowatch.org/disinfo/rt-v...

RIP America.

The chilling sound of a foreign authoritarian sinking his claws into the highest levels of American decision making.

Kremlin aligned propagandists are falsely claiming “Hindus now rule all three major parties” in Canada, using Sikh images to inflame divisions. Another example of Moscow seeking to manufacture conflict. disinfowatch.org/disinfo/krem...

YouTube video by CBC News What to expect following U.S. envoy, Putin ceasefire talks in Moscow

Secondary sanctions can starve Putin’s war machine and force real concessions.
Trump may finally be waking up to how he’s been played by Putin?

Is China a better trading partner than Trump’s America? China and the U.S. appear to be equally treacherous options for Canada, and for many countries

Any “enhanced” trade with China will come at a steep price: Beijing will demand concessions, ditching Canada’s foreign influence registry, access to critical minerals, dual-use tech, and maybe even on defence and foreign policy. Great piece by @cburton001 www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/a2e82d8...

Not a drop to drink Facing growing water shortages, civilians in occupied eastern Ukraine appeal to Putin for disaster relief — Meduza Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and the war Moscow unleashed in Donbas have severed these regions from crucial water infrastructure, creating acute shortages for residents and industry. This crisis...

No water, no future: Russia’s occupation of Donbas has delivered collapse, suffering, and now a catastrophic water crisis. It’s the same trail of misery the Kremlin leaves everywhere it claims to ‘liberate.’ meduza.io/en/feature/2...

Opinion: Canada must sanction the Chinese tech companies fuelling the horrors in Ukraine China is supplying components and technology to enable Russia to build deadly drones

China is a key supplier of components used in Russian Shahed/Geran drones that terrorize and kill Ukrainian civilians every night. Canada + allies must increase sanctions pressure on China now to disrupt this deadly supply chain.

Marcus Kolga: We inform Canadian decision-makers about hostile disinformation – Propastop

Estonia’s Propastop is a global leader in disrupting Russian information and influence operations. It was honour to chat with their team in Tallinn last week: www.propastop.org/en/2025/07/0...

Opinion: Canada can help its allies ditch their dependence on Russian energy Our energy wealth is more than an economic asset – it is a tool of diplomacy, deterrence and democratic solidarity

Canada has both the opportunity + responsibility to cut off Russian energy revenues fuelling its brutal war against Ukraine by expanding our energy exports to Europe. Former
MP John Mckay + I argue it’s in our national security + economic interests to act now. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

For the Kremlin + Beijing, information warfare, transnational repression + influence ops are weapons, no less dangerous than missiles or tanks. @NATO must expand its concept of defence to address this rising threat to the sovereignty of our democracies. cdainstitute.ca/from-bullets...

Honoured to have had the privilege of presenting the 2024 Platform of European European Memory and Conscience Prize yesterday in Prague to a heroic defender of democracy and freedom—and my dear friend— @vkaramurza.bsky.social

Congratulating Putin’s Russia while it wages a savage, genocidal war against Ukraine is as obscene as praising Nazi Germany during WWII. And yet here we are.

Heck of a day at the @NATO #RigaStratComDialogue! Grateful to JC Boucher for masterfully moderating our panel, and to Ambassador Galadza and Kenton Thibaut for their insights into foreign interference in Canada’s last federal election. Important conversations—and more to come.
