Events

The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the complex dynamics of contemporary global politics with renowned author and expert George S. Takach as he speaks about his latest book, ‘Cold War 2.0’ which contains meticulously researched insights that shed light on the geopolitical challenges of our time.

‘Cold War 2.0 – Artificial Intelligence in the New Battle between China, Russia, and America’ scrutinizes the role of artificial intelligence, military coordination, missile defense systems, advanced semiconductor chips, quantum computers, and bio-engineering in shaping the conflict between democracy and autocracy, and explores how Western democracies can navigate these challenges to ultimately triumph.

George S. Takach holds a bachelor’s degree in history, political economy, and philosophy from the University of Toronto; a graduate degree from the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University; and a law degree from the University of Toronto. For forty years, he practiced technology law at McCarthy Tétrault, one of Canada’s premier law firms. He has written three books on technology law/tech commercial subjects. This is his first book for a general audience.
