Accountability is weak and insecurity is endemic, creating disturbing opportunities for exploitation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from the cutting-edge research of the Citizen Lab, the world-renowned digital security research group which he founded and directs, Ronald J. Deibert exposes the impacts of this communications ecosystem on civil society. He tracks a mostly unregulated surveillance industry, innovations in technologies of remote control, superpower policing practices, dark PR firms, and highly profitable hack-for-hire services feeding off rivers of poorly secured personal data. Deibert also unearths how dependence on social media and its expanding universe of consumer electronics creates immense pressure on the natural environment.

Everything in the room is grey — the walls, the tubular plastic tables, the carpets. The only splash of colour is a large white flag with a bear on it that has been tacked to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Great White Bear stands in the centre of a red circle, in the middle of the flag. The white bear is the traditional symbol of the life of the North American Indian. The red circle background is symbolic of the Red Man. His feet are standing, planted firmly on the bottom line, representing the Earth while his head touches the top line, symbolic to his relationship to the Great Spirit in the sky. The bear is stretched out, arms and feet open wide, to show he has nothing to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are circles joining the bear’s rib cage. They are the souls of the people, indigenous songs, and legends. The circles are the ties that bind all the clans together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese circles also offer protection. Without them, the ribcage would expose the great bear’s beating heart and leave it open to harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan walks in and greets me warmly, his brown eyes twinkling as he takes a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan is pensive, quiet, and patient. He says nothing as he wearily leans back in his chair and waits for me to explain why exactly I flew 2,400 km north from Toronto to see him and talk about the federal election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI launch into my spiel, trying not to sound like a salesperson or an interloper into his world, someone who kind of belongs here and kind of does not. This is the curse of my mixed blood. I am the daughter of a half-Anish mom and a Polish father.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI ramble off abysmal voting pattern statistics across Canada, while pointing out that in many ridings indigenous people could act as a swing vote, influencing that riding and hence the trajectory of the election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan stares at me impassively. Non-plussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I start firing off some questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt doesn’t go well. Every time I try to engage him, asking him about why indigenous people won’t get in the game and vote, he begins talking about the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Jordan Wabasse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a frustrating exchange, like we were speaking two different languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Indigenous voters could influence fifty seats across the country if they got out and voted but they don’t. Why?” I ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Why aren’t you writing a story on Jordan Wabasse? He has been gone seventy-one days now,” replies Stan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Stephen Harper has been no friend to indigenous people yet if everyone voted, they could swing the course of this election,” I continue, hoping he’ll bite at the sound of Harper’s name. The man is no friend of the Indians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“They found a shoe down by the water. Police think it might have been his,” replies Stan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis went on for a good fifteen minutes. I was annoyed. I knew a missing Grade 9 indigenous student in Thunder Bay would not make news in urban Toronto at Canada’s largest daily newspaper. I could practically see that election bus rolling away without me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen I remembered my manners and where I was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was sitting with the elected grand chief of 23,000 people and he was clearly trying to tell me something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI tried a new tactic. I’d ask about Jordan and then I’d swing around and get him to talk about elections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Stan said: “Jordan is the seventh student to go missing or die while at school.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan says their names: “Reggie Bushie.

For the U.S. and some European powers the answer is obvious: isolate Russia with punishing economic sanctions, remove it from global institutions such as the G8, and arm the nations directly threatened by Putin. In short, return to the Cold War doctrine that froze Soviet aggression in Europe and helped bring about the collapse of communist Russia. Others argue that such a policy is a dead end. Putin’s Russia has legitimate grievances against Western and NATO powers meddling in its sphere of influence. Instead of further antagonizing Putin and risking a dangerous escalation of the current conflict, the U.S. and Europe should seek common cause with Russia to address shared threats, from the Middle East to Asia to combatting terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the fifteenth semi-annual Munk Debate, acclaimed academic Stephen F.
